==Etymology==
''[[wikt:ordu#Turkish|Ordu]]'' is the word for 'army' in current [[Turkish language|Turkish]], originally meaning 'army camp', during the Ottoman Empire an army outpost was set up near the present day city. The city, and later the province, derived its name from this.

Ordu is a strip of [[Black Sea]] coast and the hills behind, historically an agricultural and fishing area and in recent years, tourism has seen an increase, mainly visitors from [[Russia]] and [[Georgia (country)|Georgia]], as Ordu boasts some of the best beaches, rivers, and lush, green mountains on the Black Sea coast. Walking in the high pastures is now a popular excursion for Turkish holidaymakers. The higher altitudes are covered in forest.
