It is situated six kilometers West of central Cayeli, lying east of Büyük Caferpaşa and south of Demirhisar and Akpınar, Kırşehir.

Limanköy consists of a narrow coastal strip and a large mountain area that rises steeply and runs parallel to the coast.

Mapavri has been historically inhabited by the Laz community, a minority in Turkey.

Limanköy was considered a remote region with high rates of poverty.

As a result, many generations migrated from Limanköy to larger cities in Turkey and to other countries in search of better opportunities and employment prospects.
