Historic Yarbasi Stairs

On the coast of Inebolu, at that sacred zero point where the Independence Road begins, there is a threshold where time stops: Historical Yarbasi Stairs. Today, they may look like an ordinary pile of stones due to the coastal embankments that have pushed the sea away from us, but these steps are the place where the sea turned into hope and hope into victory in a nation's life and death struggle.
