'THE HOLIDAY WAS VERY BUSY'
Can Sayın, who runs a hotel in Amasra, said, "The holiday was very busy in Amasra. We started to host our guests from the eve of the holiday. We, as tradesmen, think that we have hosted our guests well. We can say that they are all satisfied with Amasra. We think that this intensity will continue as the holiday is 9 days long anyway."
