From the northern end of the Bosphorus to the border with Georgia, the Black Sea region is a kind of Garden of Eden, with abundant rainfall all year round.
Backed by thick pine forests, this is the kingdom of crops: tea, tobacco, cherries and, above all, hazelnuts.<\/p>\n

The region’s charm lies in its rugged beauty, lush green countryside, wide beaches, lively seaside towns untouched by tourism and discreet ambience.<\/p>\n

From Sinop to Amasra, you’ll find attractive villages and deserted beaches.<\/p>\n

East of Samsun are the ancient trading towns of \u00dcnye and Giresun, and the ancient port city of Trabzon (Trebizond), which has more historic attractions than any other destination on the Turkish Black Sea, including the spectacular Sumela monastery.<\/p>\n

Further east, the Pontic Alps, whose peak is Mount Ka\u00e7kar at almost 4,000m.<\/p>\n

One of the jewels of the Black Sea region is the province of Artvin. Famous for its high mountains (up to 4000m), crater lakes, emerald-green forests, waterfalls and wildlife, Artvin is a destination for nature lovers.<\/p>\n

Cross the F\u0131rt\u0131na (Storm) valley, enjoy the panorama with numerous waterfalls, stone bridges over the stream and verdant forests in the foothills of the magnificent Ka\u00e7kar mountains. Explore the magnificent Ayder alpine plateau. Traditionally dressed villagers, hot springs, waterfalls dropping hundreds of meters and magnificent houses on the plateau.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
