Trabzon, a vibrant city on Turkey’s Black Sea coast, blends the energy of a modern city with seaside charm and rich history. Known for its beautiful beaches and lively atmosphere, it’s also surrounded by cultural landmarks that date back centuries.

Where to Stay in Uzungol: Tranquility in the Mountains
Uzungol—meaning “long lake” in Turkish—is tucked into the lush, forested mountains south of Trabzon. Known for its serene beauty and cool mountain air, this peaceful lakeside village has become a popular escape for nature lovers seeking quiet trails and breathtaking views.
The walking paths that trace the lake and weave through the lower mountain slopes have a calming, almost magical feel—especially in the early morning mist or at sunset. The area remains largely undeveloped, which adds to its charm and ensures unobstructed views of the surrounding evergreen forests.
Alaturca offers tours that explore the best of the Uzungol region, including guided hikes and scenic stops along the lake’s edge. While accommodation options are limited due to the area’s protected nature, what’s available often comes with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere that’s hard to match.

It’s an ideal escape for anyone looking to disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with nature. Whether you’re relaxing in a cozy mountain lodge or waking up to mist drifting over pine-covered hills, the Highlands promise rest and restoration.
Despite its remote feel, Ayder is well positioned for day trips to nearby cities like Trabzon or Rize. Historic landmarks like the Sumela Monastery are easily reachable, offering a great balance between natural beauty and cultural exploration.
