Amasra Pansiyon Nur is a budget guesthouse located in the Büyük Liman neighborhood of Amasra, the ancient Black Sea port in Turkey's Bartın province. Büyük Liman — the Great Harbor — is Amasra's main waterfront district, where fishing boats tie up alongside pleasure craft and the harbor-side promenade fills with visitors in summer. The pansiyon sits in close proximity to this seafront activity, giving guests an authentic immersion in the rhythm of this small coastal town without the premium pricing of the boutique hotels in the castle quarter. Rooms are straightforwardly furnished in single and double configurations; bathroom arrangements follow the traditional pansiyon format, and guests have access to a shared kitchen, which is particularly useful for budget travelers who prefer to self-cater for some meals. A simple breakfast is provided, typically consisting of bread, jam, olives, cheese, and tea. Free Wi-Fi is available in common areas. The pansiyon's location within Büyük Liman Mahallesi puts guests within easy reach of Amasra's main seafront restaurants and tea gardens, the small fish market, and the harbor itself. Amasra's main historical sites — the Byzantine castle on the Kalekale hill, the Roman column gate, the Amasra Museum, and the Church of Fatih — are reachable on foot within 10–15 minutes from the harbor area. Inkumu Beach, a popular sandy stretch west of Amasra, is accessible by private car or in summer by organized transport. Bartın city, the provincial capital with its Ottoman mansion district and intercity bus connections, is approximately 17 km south by road. Pansiyon Nur suits backpackers, cyclists, and independent travelers who prioritize location and value over amenities.
