For most visitors to Gokcebayir, the best area to stay is along the coastal stretch of Ordu, particularly near the Boztepe Teleferik (Cable Car) station.
This area offers convenient access to Gokcebayir itself, which sits higher up, while providing a comfortable base with more amenities. You'll find a good selection of hotels along the Atatürk Boulevard, which runs parallel to the Black Sea coast. This promenade is popular for strolls and offers views of the sea, with numerous cafes and restaurants dotted along its length.
Couples often appreciate this area for its relaxed atmosphere and easy access to scenic experiences. From here, you can easily take the cable car up to Boztepe for panoramic views of Ordu and the surrounding countryside, including Gokcebayir. Many restaurants at the top offer traditional Turkish cuisine with stunning backdrops, great for a romantic meal.
Families will also find this coastal area practical. The flat promenade is ideal for walks with pushchairs, and there are often small parks and play areas nearby.
