Downtown Bartın has a river running straight through it, historic houses facing each other across the two banks, and a bazaar that still runs the old-fashioned way. Come evening, the riverside walkers, the tea garden regulars, and the last-minute bazaar shoppers all blend into one crowd. If you can't decide where to plant yourself in that mix, let the dice settle it: odd number, dive into the bazaar; even, sit down by the river.
