Merkez Camii
Striking modern mosque built in 2004, with a rooftop resembling a nomad's tent and tentpole-like minarets. It's similar to Faisal Mosque in Islamabad but modern styles are rare in Turkey, where religious conservatives insist that new mosques are retro-Ottoman.
Ceneviz Kalesi
This was built some time between 1204 and 1261 after the Genoese captured Istanbul and fortified all along the Black Sea coast. It's just a small crumbling bastion, but you come for the clifftop location and nearby beach.
Decorated karstic show-cave, you see about a third of its 1 km extent. Wear stout footwear.
Small pansiyon 200 m south of the bus station, and most visitors are only here because they've got stuck for transport, but it's clean and friendly.
Clean beach hotel, value for money.
Central beachfront hotel, small rooms.
Central clean hotel.
Decent enough for a short stay.
Akçakoca is at the junction of Highway D010 along the coast and D655 which winds through the mountains from Düzce the provincial capital.
