Piraziz is a town in Giresun Province on the Black Sea coast of Turkey. It is the seat of Piraziz District.[2] Its population is 8,400 (2022).[1]
Piraziz was part of the neighbouring Bulancak district until 1987, when the Piraziz District was established.
Etymology
In the Ottoman Empire period, the town was named Piridede-Abdal.
Economy
The local economy depends on growing hazelnuts and fishing in the Black Sea.
Due to the poor economic conditions of the region, many people have migrated away to find better paying jobs in other parts of Turkey.
