Samsun sits on Turkey’s Black Sea coast, the wettest region of the country, where rain falls in every month of the year rather than concentrating in a single season like the Mediterranean or Aegean coasts. The hilly terrain rising sharply behind the coastal strip makes the region prone to landslides after prolonged heavy rain, a recurring hazard across the Black Sea coastline.
