Kastamonu is 240 kilometers to Ankara and 500 kilometers to Istanbul. Kastamonu is located at the junction point of Silk Road routes to Sinop harbor. It is now much easier to reach Kastamonu, which is surrounded by the Black Sea in the North, Sinop and Çorum in the East, Çankırı in the South, Karabük and Bartın in the West, by the renewed highways and 15 July Ilgaz Tunnel that has just come into service. Also, another transportation is flying to Istanbul from the airport that entered into service in 2013!
