Part 85

Beyond Trebizond the STEAMER passes the little port of _Platana_, the ancient _Hermonassa_, with a good roadstead, protected against the W. and N.W. winds. The lofty _Cape Yoros_ or _Ieros_ (ancient _Hieron_; lighthouse), is visible for some 65 M. and is locally regarded as an infallible barometer.

=Tireboli=, the _Tripolis_ of the Greeks, the next seaport, now a quiet little town with 5000 inhab., lies, like Kerasun, amid the magnificent rocky scenery of the spurs of the _Sis Dagh_ (9220 ft.) and the _Chal Dagh_ (6450 ft.), the summits of which are often covered with snow. Roads lead thence inland to the towns of _Gümüshkhaneh_ and _Karahissar_.

Farther on, beyond _Cape Zephyros_ (Turk. _Zefireh Burnu_) we reach the seaport of =Kerasun= or _Kerasund_ (Turk. _Kiresün_, Greek _Kireson_), founded under the name of _Kerasūs_ by the Milesians of Sinope and now a town of about 18,000 inhabitants. Like Trebizond it was one of the resting-places of the Ten Thousand under Xenophon (p. 572). Its situation on and behind a small peninsula (about 425 ft.; lighthouse), which used to be fortified, and backed by superb mountains is very picturesque. The poor anchorage of the steamers is on the W. side of the peninsula, near the pier and the custom-house. Owing to the want of good communication with the hinterland its maritime commerce is insignificant.

The steamers seldom call at _Ordu_, the ancient _Kotyora_, but steer across the _Bay of Vona_, the winter quarters of most of the sailing-vessels on this coast, which is admirably sheltered by _Cape Vona_ (_Boōna Promontorium_; lighthouse).

Beyond _Yasun Burnu_ (_Jasonium Promontorium_), the name of which commemorates the legendary voyage of Jason and the Argonauts (see p. 560), the coast recedes far to the S.

Without touching at the little seaport of _Üniyeh_ or _Unia_ (once _Œnoē_), the steamer passes the _Chiva_ or _Chalti Burnu_ (_Heracleum Promontorium_) and the large delta of the _Yeshil Irmak_ (formerly _Iris_; beacon), which is navigable for small vessels in winter only, and steers direct towards the broad _Bay of Samsun_ (landing or embarkation 7½ pias.), which is enclosed by low hills clad with plantations of tobacco and maize.

=Samsun.=—HOTEL. _Mantika_, near the Banque Ottomane, R. 2–5, pens. 15 fr. (bargain advisable).— _Restaurant Yanni_, near the tobacco-factory.

BANKS. _Banque Ottomane_, _Banque d’Athènes_, _Banque de Salonique_.—POST OFFICES. _Turkish_, _French_, and others, near the custom-house.

CONSULS. British, _B. Ch. Papadopulos_.—United States Consular Agent, _William Peter_.

_Samsun_, a town with about 30,000 inhab., was in antiquity an important Greek colony under the name of _Amisus_ and is now the chief trading-place on the N. coast of Asia Minor. The chief exports are tobacco, flour, grain, and linseed. The manufactured goods it imports are forwarded mainly by trains of wagons or camels to such inland places as Mersifun, Amasia (once Amasea, the home of Strabo), Tokat (Comana), Sivas (Sebastia), and Kaisarieh (Cæsarea).

From the custom-house we turn to the left to the _Market Place_ with its clock-tower. A well-paved street leads thence to the _Banque Ottomane_. Farther to the E., on the shore, are the _Seraï_ (see p. 483) and several _Consulates_. The attractive _Villa Quarter_, occupied by Armenian and Greek merchants, conveys an impression of great prosperity.

Beyond Samsun the sandy coast juts out far towards the N.W. We pass the strip of land separating the sea from the large lagoon _Ak Göl_, the vicinity of which is infested by fever. _Cape Bafra_ (beacon), a little farther on, is near the delta of the _Kizil Irmak_ (_Halys_), which in B.C. 301–183 formed the boundary between the kingdom of _Pontus_ and _Paphlagonia_. Though the largest river in Asia Minor the Kizil Irmak is not navigable.

Beyond the month of the Halys we come to a broad semicircular bay. On its N. shore, beyond the peninsula of _Boz Tepeh Burnu_ (about 650 ft.; beacon), is a tongue of land on which stands =Sinōpe= (Turk. _Sinob_), the oldest of the colonies established on the coast of the Black Sea by the Greeks of Miletus (p. 491) and long the most powerful. Sinope was the home of Diogenes the Cynic (about B. C. 412–323). Here Xenophon’s Ten Thousand (p. 574) took ship on their way back to Byzantium (p. 541) at the conclusion of the toilsome Anabasis. It was also the residence of Mithridates VI. (B. C. 120–63; comp. p. 507), the last king of Pontus, who was famous both for his linguistic accomplishments and his military powers. He extended his sway over the whole of Asia Minor and the Crimea (p. 568), but was finally subdued by the Romans in three hardfought campaigns. Sinope, formerly the starting-point of an important caravan-route to Cappadocia and the lands of the Euphrates, now possesses, notwithstanding its excellent harbour, little more than the shadow of its former greatness. The poor little town, inhabited by about 8000 Greeks and Turks, entirely lacks roads to the interior. The barracks at the W. end of the headland serve as a quarantine lazaretto.

We next steam past _Injeh Burun_ (_Syrias Promontorium_; beacon), the northmost point of Asia Minor, and skirt a hilly, well-wooded, but thinly peopled stretch of the shore.

=Ineboli= (_Ionopolis_), the chief seaport of this part of the coast, situated on the little river of that same name, is a poor little town with Turkish timber-built houses (p. 542) and a ruined castle. The roads, with their breakwater in ruins, are exposed to every wind and are often inaccessible in winter for days together. A road leads hence to (ca. 50 M.) _Kastamuni_, the present capital of the ancient Paphlagonia.

The small ports beyond _Cape Kerembe_ (_Carambis Promontorium_; lights), where the coast again turns to the S.W., are not touched at by the large steamers.

Farther on, in the ancient _Bithynia_, appear the prominent _Cape Baba_ (_Acherusia Promontorium_; beacon) and _Cape Kirpe_ or _Kerpe_, with the small island of _Kirpe_ (_Thynias_; beacon). Near Cape Baba lay the important Greek colony of _Heraclea Pontica_, now called _Erekli_ or _Bender Eregli_.

Farther on is the _Yum Burnu_ (p. 560), which is visible at a distance of 17 M. and marks the N. entrance to the Bosporus.

For the passage of the _Bosporus_ and the arrival in _Constantinople_, see pp. 560–558 and p. 536.
