We meet in the history-laden streets of Trabzon with the first rays of dawn. Our first stop is the Sümela Monastery, perched like an eagle's nest on steep cliffs. After witnessing the silent testament of history here, we visit the Hagia Sophia with its elegant architecture and the Atatürk Pavilion, which overlooks the panoramic view of Trabzon. We will then unwind from the day's fatigue in the enchanting tranquility of Uzungöl, a gift of nature. We add peace to our first night with a delightful dinner by the lake.

Accommodation in Uzungöl and its surroundings.

We greet our second day with the fresh air of Uzungöl, energizing ourselves with a peaceful morning walk along the lake. Then we turn our route towards the deepest shades of green, into the Fırtına Valley. We explore Ayder Plateau, where life resides above the clouds, and witness the magnificence of Zilkale, located in the heart of the valley and captivating with its historical atmosphere. At the end of this journey, where we will feel the wild nature of the Black Sea to our very core accompanied by the exuberant sound of the Fırtına River, we arrive in Hopa in the evening, where we will stay overnight.

Accommodation in Hopa

Today we're taking our passports or IDs and crossing over to Batumi, a modern fairytale land. In this city, the heart of Georgia, modern architecture, art, and nature coexist. We'll stroll through the city's European squares, watching the unfulfilled love story of Ali and Nino. We'll get lost among plants from all over the world in the Batumi Botanical Garden and let ourselves be carried away by the rhythm of the fountains dancing along the coastline. In the evening, we'll leave this colorful world beyond the border and return to our peaceful home in Hopa.

Accommodation: Hopa

On the last day of our tour, we are in Rize, the homeland of tea. Enjoying the aroma of a cup of fresh Black Sea tea, we take in a bird's-eye view of the city from Rize Castle. Passing through tea gardens, we reach our tea factory; here we witness the arduous yet enjoyable journey of tea from soil to cup. After some free time to buy a small souvenir from this land for your loved ones, it's time to say goodbye. With our airport transfer, we conclude this beautiful story, filled with new friendships and wonderful memories.
