Posing by the beach, in the background is the city of Sinop. Like many Turkish cities, Sinop has an amazing and lengthy history of civilizations. It belonged to the Persians before becoming the capital of the Kingdom of Pontus, eventually it was established as a Roman colony by Julius Caesar. Over the last two thousand years the city changed hands many many times, remnants of many of these civilizations remain preserved throughout the city.
