Giresun is a city which is in the Black Sea region. It has a lot of green areas. It has a population of over 450,000 people. I think Giresun is friendlier than the other cities because everybody is amusing. There are a lot of natural structures. You can visit Giresun Castle with your family or friends. Giresun Castle is a higher place than the other structures. I think,  its view is the best because of the sea. You can see everywhere from there. The other touristic place is Giresun Island. It is near to the center of the Giresun. Generally, when many tourists come to Giresun, they want to visiting to this island because the island is very interesting. There are tea gardens and picnic areas in there.  People can go there in summer because winter is very cold and tourists generally go to Giresun in summer. Although winter is very cold, some people go to Giresun in this weather. In winter, people can visit to Giresun plateaus. They can use a stove to heat themselves. Mostly, the summer months are warm. The weather isn’t too hot. The most famous food is the traditional pita of Giresun. People consume it too much. I love it! The best thing about it is its green area. People very like it a lot because it makes people feel peaceful. I like to live there, but now, I am living in İstanbul. So That's why I missed to Giresun too much.
