Tour Details

Uzungöl Tour – Lake, Tea, Local Crafts & Mountain Scenery

Uzungöl is one of the best-known places in the Eastern Black Sea region and one of the most popular day trips from Trabzon. The road from the city takes you through coastal towns, tea-growing areas, mountain valleys and traditional villages before reaching the lake.

The tour begins with a drive towards Sürmene, where the area is well known for its traditional knife-making. Depending on the workshop schedule, you can see how the knives are made and learn about a craft that has been associated with the town for generations.

The journey continues to a local tea factory, where you can learn how Black Sea tea is collected, processed and prepared.

We then follow the Solaklı Valley towards Uzungöl. The valley becomes narrower as the road climbs into the mountains, with forests, streams and villages along the route.

At Uzungöl, you will have free time to walk around the lake, visit the viewing areas, take photographs or stop at one of the local cafés.
