About Ordu: Where the Green Meets the Blue
Welcome to Ordu, the pearl of the Black Sea and the “Capital of Oxygen.” As you join us for the 7th International Congress on Biosensors, you will find yourself in a city where deep historical roots, vibrant culture, and breathtaking nature live in perfect harmony.
The Gem of the Black Sea
Ordu is uniquely situated where the lush green forests of the Pontic Mountains dive into the deep blue waters of the Black Sea. It is a city that invites you to breathe, reflect, and find inspiration—the ideal backdrop for scientific exchange and innovation.
Highlights You Cannot Miss
- Boztepe & The Cable Car: For the most iconic view of the city, take a cable car ride to Boztepe. Standing 530 meters above sea level, you will witness a panoramic view of the coastline that will take your breath away.
- The Land of Hazelnuts: Ordu is the heart of global hazelnut production. Don’t forget to taste the world’s finest hazelnuts and explore the local gastronomy that defines the flavors of Northern Türkiye.
- Cape Yason (Jason’s Cape): Step back in time at this legendary peninsula. Home to a beautiful 19th-century church and the mythical setting of the Argonautica, it is one of the few places where you can watch the sunrise and sunset over the sea from the same spot.
- The Blue Flag Beaches: Enjoy a peaceful walk along the longest and cleanest coastline in the region, featuring several Blue Flag beaches and charming seaside tea gardens.
A Gateway to Science and Serenity
Ordu is not just a destination; it is an experience. Its welcoming atmosphere and warm-hearted people make every visitor feel at home. We believe that the serene environment of Ordu University will provide the perfect “biosphere” for our discussions on the future of biosensing technologies.
“In Ordu, every shade of green is a promise of peace, and every wave of the sea is a call to discovery.”
We look forward to meeting you where the mountains meet the sea!
