Kumkale Harbor

Kumkale Harbor




The outstanding coastline is littered with old defences. At Kumkale harbour there are two pillboxes with the first wold war battery guns still intact. The Çakaltepe Battery near the picturesque harbour, its guns now silent and rusted. Life is more peaceful here now. From here we follow the coast road, passing through Kumkale and onwards towards Yenikoy.


İzole ve etkileyici kıyı şeridi, eski savunma yapılarıyla doludur. Kumkale Limanı’nda, Birinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan kalma ve hâlâ yerinde duran iki beton mevzi ve batarya topları bulunmaktadır. Limanın yakınındaki manzaralı bir noktada yer alan Çakaltepe Bataryası’nın topları artık susmuş ve paslanmıştır. Artık burada hayat çok daha huzurludur. Bu noktadan sonra kıyı yolunu takip ederek Kumkale’den geçiyor ve Yeniköy’e doğru ilerliyoruz.
