About this trip

Ayder is a mountain plateau in Rize province, in the foothills of the Kaçkar range: wooden chalets, a wide meadow and waterfalls dropping from the forest above.

The way up follows the Fırtına valley, a fast river crossed by old stone arch bridges and lined with tea gardens. It is one of the greenest corners of the country, because it is also one of the wettest.

It is a long day on the road from Trabzon, and well worth it for the scenery. Ask us on WhatsApp for the current stops and what is included before you book.
