Kastamonu, formerly Castamon, is a Turkish city in north-central Turkey. It is located near the Gök River (ancient Amnias). The city is located south of the thickly populated Black Sea coastal plain, in a sparsely populated high basin. Kastamonu has a sugar factory and is famed for its copper cookware. A modest museum and a teacher training institution are located in the city.
The trees around Ilgaz Mountain and the Sphere Mountains, as well as Karaçomak Creek, which runs through the city, give Kastamonu a special beauty in the autumn. Autumn joins the everyday hustle and bustle of inhabitants walking down the stream, surrounded by a riot of yellow, green, brown, red, and pink colours formed by sycamores, linden, poplars, and trees of other species.
