Samsun is a Turkish city and the capital of the Samsun Province of the same name as well as an important Black Sea port and transportation center. It is where Atatürk founded the Turkish Republic movement and it served as its base during the Turkish War of Independence. Samsun stretches along the coast between two river deltas which empty into the Black Sea. It is located at the end of an ancient trade route from Cappadocia when it was called Amisos. The Amisos of antiquity lay on the headland just northwest of the current day city. To Samsun's west lies the Kızılırmak (Red River) which is one of the longest rivers in Anatolia. To the east lies the Yeşilırmak River (Green River). Each river is in a delta which are now protected wetland preserves.
