Is Ordu safe for women?

Ordu is a very beautiful coastal city, sea and coast. The people are very friendly and hospitable, especially to foreigners. Actually, there are many places to visit and activities to do. Of course, I do not prefer to walk in the dark, not because it is not safe, but it is my preference.
