Samsun Situated between two river deltas on the Black Sea lies Samsun. According to ancient myths, Samsun was the land of the Amazons, the tribe of female warriors skilled in shooting bow and arrows. As the myth goes, the Amazons removed a breast in order to shoot more effectively. The word itself in Greek means 'without breasts'. The town now is most visited for its Archeological and Ethnographic and the Atatürk Museum - which gives tribute to Kemal Atatürk, who rallied the people against Allied occupation and began the Turkish War of Independence. |
