Discover the outstanding beauty of Rize province with TSG's daily tour of the Handuzu Plateau. These plateaus are situated in the Black Sea Region of Turkey and offer stunning views of the very blue sea on one side and lush green tea gardens on the other three sides. The region receives rainfall throughout the year, making it permanently green. Join us as we discover Rize's plateau culture and take in the area's natural splendors.

We will pick you up from your hotel and head towards the Guneysu Valley. We will cross the 800-meter walking trail, intertwined with nature and wooden suspension bridges, to reach the Arap Duzu Waterfall. As we climb to the summit, we will feel our feet cut off from the ground, and the Cagrankaya Plateau will welcome us at an altitude of 2600 meters, a world above the clouds. From the natural viewing terrace of Cagrankaya, we can hear our loud shouts echoing back as we drink in ice-cold waters and take breaks. After that, we walk on the Yedicukur Plateau, centrally located for lunch, and arrive at the plateau house for dinner. Here, we sip our tea and get the opportunity to learn about the Yedicukur Plateau and the surrounding plateaus on the skirts of Demirdagi while chatting with the locals. After lunch, we head towards the Egzar Plateau, admiring the organic lycopas along the way but not eating them. At the Egzar Plateau meadows, we set up our 'horon' (traditional folk dance of the locals) ring, watch the valley, sing folk songs, and relieve the tiredness of the day.
The tour will end with the transportation; however, you can sign up to take advantage of TSG credits, and this is the best way to snag credits and use them for your next trips as a discount, as well as to hear about the hot deals according to your interests.
