Overview
Discover the mesmerizing nature, deep-rooted history, and misty highlands of the Black Sea with ultimate TourQuaz comfort. Based directly out of Trabzon, this premium 4-night, 5-day discovery overland tour begins with a convenient, private door-to-door greeting (Meet & Greet) service right from Trabzon Airport (TZX), the cruise port, or your city center hotel. Far removed from crowded commercial excursions, this itinerary is meticulously designed for either boutique small groups or a fully private VIP experience, showcasing the emerald-green wonderland of Northern Turkey at its absolute finest.
Throughout your adventure, you will stand in awe before the majestic Sumela Monastery, an ancient wonder clinging miraculously to a sheer cliff face for centuries, and breathe in the crisp pine air of the Zigana Mountains while savoring authentic, traditional rice pudding on-site in Hamsiköy. Moving forward, our journey follows Rize's roaring Firtina River, crossing iconic Ottoman-era stone bridges to find true serenity inside the fairytale landscapes of Ayder Highland, situated right beside the cascading Bride's Veil Waterfall at the foot of the Kackar Mountains.
At the world-famous natural miracle of Uzungol Lake, we don’t just explore the standard lakeshore. We ascend further to hidden upper plateaus like Lustra and Karester—elevations standard tour operators rarely visit—to offer you a breathtaking bird's-eye panorama of the lake below. Complete with immersive cultural experiences including a hands-on tea factory masterclass and an educational visit to traditional local blade artisans in Surmene, this seamless voyage concludes with an elegant premium return transfer back to the airport.
