About the tour

Ayder Tour

Dear guests, after picking you up from the departure points, we set off on our journey to Ayder, with commentary along the way. Our first stop is a knife shop on the route, where you can see Sürmene’s famous knives. After the visit and some optional shopping, we continue on our way. Next, we take a tea break at Eskitoğlu Waterfall in Rize. After the break, we head to a Rize cloth shop to see the region’s traditional handwoven Rize cloth. Following the visit and optional shopping, we stop for 30 minutes at one of our partner facilities to admire the Fırtına Stream and try the zipline. After the zipline break, we pass Çamlıhemşin and photograph the historic stone bridges along the way. At the end of our journey, we climb up to Ayder Plateau, which welcomes hundreds of thousands of local and international visitors every year. With its mist and forests, its snow and rain, and its natural hot springs said to cure all kinds of ailments, Ayder warms the heart and offers a day unlike any other. We take photos at Gelintülü Waterfall, which flows down from the peaks of the Kaçkar Mountains. One of nature’s most remarkable formations, it takes its name from its resemblance to a bride’s veil. You then have free time until we meet again at 17:00.

We then wrap up our Ayder Tour and head back to Trabzon, saying goodbye until our next tour.

Nestled in Çamlıhemşin, a charming district of Rize, Ayder Plateau is one of the Black Sea region’s most popular destinations, known for its healing hot springs, highland houses and breathtaking nature. The journey along the Fırtına Valley offers a different kind of beauty in every season. If you’d like to explore other plateaus in the region, check out our Huser Plateau Tour and Pokut Plateau Tour.
