The historical Ortamahalle in Akçaabat attracts attention from local and foreign tourists with its houses from the Ottoman period, mansions, cobblestone streets, fountains and the display of the neighborhood culture as a whole. Ortamahalle, most of which was declared an urban protected area in 1988, is among the rare settlements where the historical texture has been preserved to this day. Ortamahalle, which stands out by showing its historical texture as a whole on the street and neighborhood scale, is the first address of both local and foreign tourists and photographers, preserving its original charm with its cobbled streets, steep slopes and narrow squares. The neighborhood, which bears traces of different civilizations such as Roman and Byzantine as well as the Ottoman period, hosts tourists coming to the Black Sea. In addition to spending time in touch with nature, the neighborhood offers its guests different alternatives such as accommodation, promotion of local products, tasting local delicacies and photo safari. When viewed from a distance, the neighborhood resembles an oil painting.
