This is a short clip of the Town of Kerasunda (Giresun) which derives from the word "Kerasi" = "Cherry". Sitting on the Black Sea shore 151 klm west of Trabzon.
You will see the Church of St.Nick at the start from close, next to the old "Parthenagogio" (later you can see from afar). The board with the 2 men (Tsetes) in costume is reference to the campaign by Mustafa Kemal to rid the region of "infidel", it also the final resting place of the slaughterer "Zate Topal Osman" (Limp Osman) who's tomb has replaced the same place were the loved and respected by all (Turks and Pontians) Mayer Papadopoulos was berried before. (NOTE : Osman was put to hang by Turkey, without any trial, accused of being a traitor, ironically you will find a large Heroic statue of him in Giresun today). His tomb It sits on top of the hill next to the remains of the Byzantine castle walls, overlooking both sides of Kerasunta.
From the top I zoom into the Greek quadrant (were you see the church). Giresun is a much larger town then other sea side towns like Samunda (Amisos) and Ordu (Kotiora).
This is from my 1997 trip with Georgos Andreadis and a group of 50 other people including 3 priests and members of the Pontian Uni Students of Thessaloniki.
A Must visit area. All of Northern Turkey (Karedeniz).
