PHOTOGRAPHS ALBUM
Giresun, the name derives from kerasi the Greek world for cherry. The name Kerasous first appears in Xenophon's Cyrou Anavasis. After Pharnaces I, king of Pontos, captured the town in 183 BC he renamed it Pharnaceia. In 71 BC Kerasus was taken by the Roman general Lucullus and again in 64 BC by Pompey. Legend has it that Lucullus imported to Rome the cherry tree from Kerasus.
In the Byzantine era the town changed hands many times between the Seljuks and the Byzantines. From 1204 to 1461 AD Kerasus belonged to the Empire of Trapezond. It was then taken by the Ottomans.
On May 20, the feast of a Moslem holy man, Hıdrellez, is celebrated in Giresun. On that day, pilgrims flock on the little island Giresun Adası and form a circle around a large black rock and insert pebbles into the rock's cervices while making wishes. Local lore has it that this ceremony dates back to the Argonauts and that Giresun Adası is the island of Ares (Mars) sacred to the Amazons.
