We were not sure what to expect at first but after a very warm welcome at the beginning, we were constantly impressed by the people and all the sites, great organisation and we will be back!
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 Türkiye 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.
