Welcome to Samsun

Samsun welcomes us to the Black Sea — a city where the sea, history, nature and modern urban life come together.

Stretching along Türkiye’s central Black Sea coast, Samsun is an important regional centre with a distinctive maritime character, a long waterfront and a rich cultural heritage. It is a city to experience as well as a place to meet.

During your stay, take a little time beyond the Summit programme. Walk along the Black Sea coast, discover the lively Atakum waterfront, explore Samsun’s museums and historic landmarks, or enjoy the flavours of the local cuisine.

Beyond the city, the wider Samsun region opens towards remarkable natural landscapes, including the Kızılırmak Delta and the rich environment of the Black Sea coast.
 

Come prepared for the Summit — and leave a little time to discover Samsun.
