You can climb to the summit of the Rabbit Island where a population of gray, black and white rabbits, hop around the caves and enjoy the view of Amasra from the sea. Among the other sites are Fatih mosque - which was previously a church - the hamam and the theater. Remnants of Amasra's long and interesting history are displayed in the Amasra Museum. You can purchase hand-carved wood souvenirs on Çekiciler Street. Check of the toy helicopters fashioned from nutshells, the ships from seashells, and other curiosities from fish bones. Local craftsmen produce a "wish table" in the shape of a heart with a turtle model on for export to Italy. It is also a fisherman district and has several good fish restaurants with local produce. Canlı Balık and Çeşm-i Cihan are the most famous ones. Don't miss the fried mussels and salad.
Continuing eastward along the coast, you arrive at Cakraz, a typical fishing village with excellent beaches, friendly accommodations and restaurants. The winding road between Cakraz and İnebolu has steep mountainsides and offers a spectacular panoramic view. The eastern Amasra enjoys a reputation for good swimming besides Çakraz and Bozköy and Akkonak offer the best beaches.
Hotels and pensions are neat and cozy however the climate is a bit cool and bring something heavy with you.
