Best of Black Sea Tour

(10 Days / 9 Nights)

"Majestic mountains, lush forests and tea growing hills"

The Black Sea region of Turkey which is very different. If you have already visited other regions of Turkey, then a tour to the Black Sea region will complete your Turkey experience. The Black Sea coastline is a kaleidoscope of scenery with charming towns and villages, deep valleys and fast running rivers, old monasteries perched on mountainsides and castles on mountain tops.

With its rich culture and friendly people, the Black Sea Region is a real gem. It is adorned with majestic mountains, lush forests and tea growing hills. What’s more, you will be one of few Westerners in the area as it is still off the beaten track and the locals are proud to literally “welcome you to their country” and to their home.

Sites visited on this tour include the World Heritage listed Safranbolu where you see the best-preserved examples of unique Ottoman architecture, the charming riverside town of Amasya with its dramatic setting; lush and rugged Black Sea coast line and the ancient Armenian city of Ani near Kars.

"Hi Hamit,

It was a wonderful trip thanks to your very personal tour-leadership. For us it felt like we'd been invited by a friend and his lovely wife to join a group on a trip to show us his homeland - of which he was justly proud. We were all lucky to have Olga's companionship and the excellent camaraderie of such a good group of fellow-travellers. We enjoyed the terrific variety of accommodations and, (probably a little too much) the great cuisine in the many interesting restaurants you took us to. For someone like me with a keen interest in history it was also a real treat to travel through that 'cradle of civilisation' with someone like Damla who so expertly provided the historical narrative. 

Thank you for a store of really good memories and also for the photographs. 

Regards"
