'''Perşembe''' (formerly ''Vona'') is a town and a district of [[Ordu Province]] on the [[Black Sea]] coast of [[Turkey]].
==Legend and history==
Perşembe is on the Vona Peninsula on the [[Black Sea]] coast and is held to be the point where the legendary [[Jason and the Argonauts]] were forced to land during their struggle with the storms and currents of the Black Sea.
For a long time Vona part of the [[Roman Empire]] and its sucessors the [[Byzantine Empire]] and [[Empire of Trebizond]]. This era ended in 1461 when Trebizond was overturned by Sultan [[Mehmet II]] and Vona was brought into the [[Ottoman Empire]], although there was a Turkish community in the town before this date. By 1520 the port of Vona was a predominantly Muslim town.
