Orhaniye Mahallesi: Ordu
Ordu lies along Turkey’s Black Sea coast, where dense urban neighbourhoods climb from a curving shoreline toward the forested slopes of the Pontic Mountains. The city is the administrative centre of Ordu Province and a long-established Black Sea port, shaped by the narrow strip of land between sea and uplands. Above the centre, Boztepe is a hilltop district reached by cable car and associated with the city’s broad coastal setting. Ordu is also closely tied to hazelnut cultivation: the province is among Turkey’s leading production areas, and orchards remain a defining part of the surrounding countryside. Its seafront roads, compact centre and rising terrain give the city a distinctly vertical coastal form.
