Escape Trabzon and immerse yourself in the cultural vibrancy of the surrounding Black Sea Coast region with a full-day bus trip. Taste test fresh Turkish tea, visit a traditional Surmene knife shop, discover Uzungol Lake, and marvel at the architectural wonders of a historic Ottoman bridge. Begin your tour by boarding an air-conditioned bus and traveling to a traditional tea factory to taste-test different types of simmering Turkish tea. Explore nearby shops, including a natural store full of organic bioproducts and a knife shop known for its exquisitely crafted Surmene knives. Then it's time to visit picturesque Uzungol Lake. Feast your eyes on the steep slopes of the Alps, lush forest landscapes, and nearby artificial waterfalls. Take a lunch break and wander the area before boarding the bus to visit a historic Ottoman Bridge and then returning to your hotel.

Your tour will begin with pickup from your hotel in Trabzon. From there you will travel to Uzungol, which takes approximately one hour. As you travel from Trabzon you will visit a tea factory, which will provide you with a look at the way fresh tea is grown and harvested. You will also be able to buy fresh tea to take with you.  Once you are done learning about the hectic life of tea makers, you will visit the Surmene knives and gift shop. There you will see the hard work of master craftsman of the Surmene region, as well as their handcrafted blades. These blades have been forged, folded, twisted, and hammered, until a unique blade is finished. After a lunch break you will be free to discover the Uzungol area by yourself. You may like to rent a pedal boat on the lake, or can instead opt to follow one of the hiking trails for a chance to see some of the impressive local wildlife. In the evening you will return to Trabzon, where you will be dropped off back to your hotel.

Trabzon Castle, which survived since the Romans, and the house where Kanuni Sultan Suleiman, probably the most famous sultan of the Ottoman Empire, was born and raised... And many more...We don't want you to leave you hungry while exploring so many places and we recommended the refreshment places full of delicious flavors. On this route, you will both climb a plateau and drink coffee by the lake… If you say “How many days will it take?”, we can say three days on average. Of course, you have the initiative! Welcome back to our “Whatever you seek is here" route! The rest is rhetoric! We'd better take on the road. If the cameras are charged, the raincoats are put into the bags - here is the Black Sea, it is unpredictable if it would rain - and the spare flash disks are emptied (just one flash disk is not enough), and the shoelaces are tied, let's start.
