Entrances to Cevizdibi Canyon in Samsun were closed
Cevizdibi Canyon in Samsun’s Yakakent district is not allowed to be entered except for professionals on security grounds.
Cevizdibi Canyon, located within the borders of Asmapınar Neighbourhood, has attracted the attention of citizens due to the images shared on social media in recent years.
Yakakent District Governor Abdüssamed Kılıç said that it is not suitable for citizens other than professional climbers to enter the canyon and that the entrances are closed for security reasons.
Kılıç said, “Cevizdibi Canyon contains natural beauties, as well as small waterfalls and ponds, and poses a danger for citizens who are not professionals and do not have documents such as first aid and life saving.”
Asking citizens to be sensitive in this regard, Kılıç said, “In these months, in order to ensure the safety of our citizens and to fight forest fires, there is a ban on entering this area except for non-professional athletes and other people. We ask our citizens to be sensitive at this point and not to jeopardise their own life safety and the life safety of their friends and families. Cevizdibi Canyon will be open to all of our citizens after the necessary arrangements are made in the future.”
