Karadeniz Ereğli combines a working industrial coast with city life beside the sea. The port and factories shape its appearance, while a long promenade provides space to walk by the water. Its history goes back to antiquity, when it was known as Heraclea Pontica. The distinctive attraction is the Cehennemağzı cave complex, associated with the myth of Heracles and Cerberus; one cave retains traces of an early Christian sanctuary.
