Ayder Plateau is one of the most visited highland destinations in the Eastern Black Sea. Located in the Rize region near the Kaçkar Mountains, Ayder is known for its forests, wooden houses, mountain streams and highland villages.

The journey from Trabzon follows the Black Sea coast before turning towards Fırtına Valley. The valley is one of the main routes into the Kaçkar mountain area and is known for its river, stone bridges and outdoor activities.

After a short stop in the valley, we continue towards Ayder Plateau.

At Ayder, there is time to walk around the plateau, see the traditional houses and visit the main viewpoints. One of the best-known sights is Gelin Tülü Waterfall, which drops down the mountain slope below the plateau.

Depending on weather and operating conditions, optional activities such as rafting, zipline or the giant swing may also be available.
