Nestled along the Black Sea coastline, Rize is a modest yet important province in Turkey, widely recognized for its tea cultivation, processing, and packaging. The region's rolling hills are covered with lush, bright green tea plants, creating a scenic landscape best admired from Ziraat Park in the city center.
While you're in Rize, don't miss the chance to sample the sought-after Anzer honey, a rare delicacy produced only in summer. You can also shop for garments crafted from the traditional Rize Bezi fabric and explore historical landmarks such as the 16th-century Islam Pasha Mosque and the remnants of an old Genoese castle.
A short journey south will bring you to the mesmerizing Uzungol campsite, located by a serene alpine lake encircled by meadows and forested mountains. If you’re up for some adventure, Camlihemsin in the Kackar Mountains serves as a perfect base for hiking and trekking.
Make sure to visit the dramatic Storm Valley, where you’ll find the majestic Zirkale castle and ancient Byzantine bridges. To unwind, head to Ayder, a tranquil destination famous for its soothing thermal springs and pristine natural surroundings.
