Bulancak
Encyclopedia
Bulancak is a town and a district of Giresun Province
on the Black Sea
coast of Turkey
, near to the city of Giresun
.
With a population of 38,546 Bulancak is the largest town in the province apart from Giresun
itself.
Bulancak is only a short drive from Giresun, is easily reached by public transport and has thus become part of Giresun's urban sprawl, a dirty mess of concrete buildings. The coast used to be a nice place to walk and eat ice cream on a summer evening but the new Black Sea
highway has ruined that as well.
