As if the Legend of Bride’s Rock in the province of Giresun reflects the grandiosity of the Black Sea region of Turkey, which is apparent in its wavy sea, vast wild forests, dense vegetation, huge mountains, and unending rains. The geography is, however, so prolific in terms of natural beauties and nutritional goodness that people living in the Black Sea Region are considered highly smart.
