Samsun, Turkey

Turkey

Samsun, Turkey links 8309 places across 20 topics through 115 Bunkabop connections, with history and sports forming its two largest clusters. After the Seljuk Empire fragmented into beyliks in the late 13th century, the Isfendiyarids ruled the city; its diocese later disappeared from the Greek Notitiae Episcopatuum and fell under the see of Amasea. Samsun hosted the 2021 IBSA Goalball European Championships and operates RORO ferry service to Novorossiysk. Ankara and Istanbul are its closest co-connected places, alongside Greece through the Greco-Turkish War.
