• Zilkale

• Palovit Waterfall

• Çat Valley

• Boxwood Forest

• Elevit Plateau

• Çat Village

• Çamlıhemşin Bazaar

Following breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel. Today’s journey takes us deep into the Çat Valley. This route, surrounded by pine forests, offers an easy and scenic drive. We will pass through villages paved with cobblestones. Along the way, the majestic Zilkale will greet us, where you can admire a wide perspective of the valley from the castle. We will continue our journey with a stop at the highly popular Palovit Waterfall. After the waterfall, our next destination in the valley is the Boxwood Forest and its poignant story; your guide will share the history of this precious forest as you wander through it. Leaving the Boxwood Forest, we head toward the Elevit Plateau, taking a brief break where the two streams that give the Çat Valley its name converge. Elevit is a favorite stop for many, characterized by a stream flowing through it and houses overlooking the water, making it a very accessible and charming highland. We will take a short stroll through the plateau. On our return from Elevit, we will visit Çat Village, the apple of the eye for local livestock farmers; its grasses, turning green in spring and yellow in autumn, add a unique ambiance to the valley. We will have a lunch break during the return journey. Afterward, we will return to the center of Çamlıhemşin for free time in the bazaar. If you wish, you can experience activities like ziplining or rafting, or browse the souvenir shops. When you are ready to conclude your time at the bazaar, we will drop you off at your hotel. Dinner will be served at your hotel.

• Gito Plateau

• Badara Plateau

• Ayder, Gelin Tülü Waterfall

• Avusor Plateau

• Huser Sunset

Your vehicle journey will begin after breakfast. Today, you will get your fill of the highlands. Our first route is Gito Plateau, which has inspired many songs. Gito and Badara are two nearby plateaus, located about 30 minutes apart by car. After arriving at Gito, we will have a short stroll and a photo break. Then, we will proceed to Badara Plateau by vehicle. Badara features a small lake and offers a close look at rhododendrons; if you are there during the yellow rhododendron season, you will be captivated by their scent and color. We also highly recommend tasting the "Laz Böreği" (a local pastry) in Badara. The second half of the day's journey follows the Ayder Plateau route. You will get to know the new face of Ayder, which has surrendered to modern transformation and where traditional highland farming is no longer practiced. Gelin Tülü Waterfall will be our photo and rest stop in Ayder. Afterward, we continue along the Ayder road to ascend to Avusor Plateau, where we will have a lunch break. At the appropriate time for the Huser sunset, we will set off to reach even higher altitudes. Huser Plateau is famous for its "sea of clouds." With all the clouds beneath your feet, you will watch the sun set over the horizon. Following the sunset, we will drop you off at your hotel to conclude this magnificent day. Your dinner will be served at the hotel.

• Tea Sales Points (Çaykur and Lazika)

• Kamilet Valley

• Twin Bridge (Çifte Köprü)

• Mençuna Waterfall

• Papilat Village

• Çeçeva Village (Famous Tea Garden)

After breakfast, you will depart from the hotel with your luggage. Once settled in the vehicle, you can lean back to enjoy a final day filled with experiences. As we leave Çamlıhemşin, we will stop by the Çaykur Tea Factory and the Lazika Tea Shop if you wish to see the local organic teas or perhaps tuck a tasting pack into your suitcase. Our journey continues toward the coast. After a short drive along the shoreline, we will follow a riverside route in the Kamilet Valley within the borders of Arhavi. We will take a photo break at the Twin Bridge (Çifte Köprü) and reach the entrance of Mençuna Waterfall. Leaving the vehicle at the entrance, a one-hour walk—alternating between stairs and comfortable paths—will lead us to the point where Mençuna Waterfall plunges down. We promise this light exertion will be worth it. You will elevate your four-day nature flow even further with this magnificent rush of water. While admiring the waterfall, a cup of highland tea will warm your heart. On the return from the waterfall, a short journey will lead us to a lunch break in a traditional home environment in Papilat Village; we are sure you will love it. Afterward, we head toward Çayeli. The famous Çeçeva tea garden in Çayeli will offer you an experiential photography delight. You can take photos in the garden wearing traditional local clothing and taste the famous rice pudding (sütlaç) topped with plenty of hazelnuts. Finally, to conclude your program and bid you a happy farewell, we will transfer you to the airport, our final stop.
