Represents
one of the outstanding scenic beauties of Turkey, the quiet
green beauty of the Black Sea coast In the north, with pine
forested mountains, and lush valleys and hills, running to a
coastline of placid beaches.
Among the dense
green foliage of this rainy area, the mountain villages, and
the fishing villages on the coasts, retain the traditional wooden
architecture of the region. The region is perfect for nature-lovers
with its breathtaking landscapes; the Bolu-Seven Lakes, the
Artvin-Tortum Waterfall, the Trabzon - Karadag and Erikbeli
meadows are perfect for hiking and picnicking, while the Artvin
- Coruh River is good for rafting.
Those
who prefer a quiet holiday in an unspoiled region are welcomed
with a smile and they may enjoy the characteristics of the
region's daily life, especially the hospitality of the people
and the delicious food. Amasra, Rize, and Hopa are some of the
areas suitable for such a choice. The whole coast is perfect
for campers who want to have both sea and forested-mountain
excursions at the same time.Sea and sun-worshippers may benefit
from the coast but if they also want active nights then Akcakoca,
lnkum and Guzelyali are some of the recommended towns. The region
has in common with the rest of the country many reminiscent
of major civilizations, for example; Trabzon - Aya Sofya Church
(Church of the Holy Wisdom); Giresun Castle; Amasya - Pontic
King's Tombs; Sinop - Ulu Mosque, Alaiye Medresesi and many
others.
