Where Does Asarcık Get Its Name?

If you were to take a photo from a distance, the general silhouette of the district will be the first ones that will catch the eye, the houses built on the places left over from the trees on a wide land, a highway passing right in the middle and the minaret of the historical mosque in it. Due to the geographical structure, the villages of the district are generally at the foot of the mountains and the image they all create collectively is in the form of walls designed to protect an important place, namely in the form of a fort, so this region was named Hisarcık, and over the years it has reached the shape of Asarcık. The district, where typical Black Sea climate is observed, has a small bazaar with shops located around a large ornamental pool that you can see in the middle.

What to Eat in Asarcık?

If you have made a trip to Asarcik, we also recommend you to eat Circassian chicken, which is one of the real Circassians of this region. We are sure that you will not like any Circassian chicken you eat this much again. We think that it is also due to the fact that the air is rich in oxygen; We would like to emphasize once again that "whatever I eat I will not get enough" feeling has nothing to do with the taste of Circassian chicken.

In addition, goose phyllo or goose tridi are just a few of the local flavors that will blow your mind.
