The Black Sea Region is the least known tourist destination we promote. It is unspoilt, rural, traditional and well worth exploring. The Kackar Mountains provide a stunning backdrop and places such as Amasra, Rize and Trabzon are pretty seaside towns that retain lots of character.

The Black Sea Region has a higher rainfall average than the rest of Turkey and so is very lush and green. It is a prolific tea and nut growing region, particularly hazelnuts .  The region is also ideally suited to travellers with a keen interest in history and culture. There are many early Christian sites and ancient trade routes to explore. There are some wonderful buildings such as Sumela Monastery, built into a cliff face and decorated in religious murals.
