Creator's description


The pier, on which the children walk, is the old pier built in 1923, as many local products and citrus fruits were exported to the Black Sea at that time, and the construction of the pier was necessary to protect the boats.

The children walked on the pier and took limpets off the cliffs and in adolescence it was the place where one could "hide" at night for a secret date. The pier has "hosted" many generations in the absence of nightclubs and cafes.
