Droom van de Zwarte Zee – Rize Artvin – een groepsreis – 5 dagen

After waking up in Çamlıhemşin, we start the day with a nice breakfast. On our second day, we visited Kamilet Valley, another natural wonder with its endemic vegetation. After reaching Arhavi from the coastal road, following the Kapistre Stream, our first stop in the valley is the Historical Double Arch Bridge, one of the most beautiful examples of stonemasonry, located at the intersection of Kamilet and Soğucak streams. After a photo break at the historical bridge, we drive to the place where we will walk through the valley for a while. After a mild to moderately difficult hike, we arrive at Mençuna Waterfall, which feeds the creatures of Kamilet Valley. After cooling off by the waterfall, we enjoy the view with the delicious highland tea.

After the Mençuna waterfall, we descend from the waterfall for lunch to taste the most delicious local dishes of the valley.

Our next route is the quiet city of Şavşat... Our journey, which continues with wonderful natural views, ends at the Yavuzköy observation deck where we can watch the magnificent view of Şavşat. After the observation terrace, we can take a walk if we want and go to the hotel where we will stay to finish our day.

Accommodation:Şavşat

Kahvaltımızın ardından sakin şehir Şavşat’ta ilk durağımız olan tarihi Tibet kilisesi’ne gidiyoruz. Rehberimiz kilise tarihi hakkında bizi bilgilendirdikten sonra kilise yanında en güzel örnekleri ile ahşap evleri görüp yörenin insanlarını tanıyabileceğimiz çay kahve sohbet keyfimize geçiyoruz.

Tatlı sohbetimiz sonrasında sıradaki yolculuğumuz Şavşat’ın en sakin yerlerinden Veliköy. Veliköy sonrası ise zirvelere doğru tırmanışımız devam ediyor. Rotamız Arsiyan Dağının eteklerindeki Balık göllü. Araçla balık gölüne vardıktan sonra, ormanın içine doğru yürüyüşe geçiyoruz.Eğer isterseniz Arsiyan’a karşı gölün kıyısında gölün suyunda ayaklarınızı serinleterek keyfini çıkarabilirsiniz. 

Göl sonrası bize yorgunluğumuzu unutturacak öğle yemeğimiz var.

Zihnimizi yollardaki manzaralarla karnımızı yöresel yemeklerle  doyurduktan sonra Sahara Milli Parkına doğru yola çıkıyoruz. Milli park içerisinde heyelan set gölü olan Şavşat Karagöl’e geçiyoruz. Göl kıyısında güzel bir yürüyüş yapıyoruz.

After waking up to a beautiful Şavşat morning, we set off to Macahel, the first and only Biosphere reserve of our country, which is an untouched geography, with a wonderful nature journey that will appeal to all our senses.

On the Green Road, which is our route, villages, streams, forests and plateaus are waiting for us, one by one, and we can walk as much as we want and cool off in the streams as much as we want.

During our rest in Meydancık village, we will meet with local people and listen to their experiences and stories. Then, we go to Papart and Çurupira plateaus, respectively, via the green road. We eat local dishes of Georgian cuisine prepared for us, accompanied by the view, at the peaks of the Churupira plateau, which is on our natural border with Georgia.

After dinner, our green journey continues and we go to Maral Waterfall in Macahel Valley. After a short nature walk to the waterfall and cooling off at the waterfall, depending on the weather, we go to the hostel where we will stay.

Accommodation: Macahel

After waking up in the Macahel valley on our last day in the Black Sea, we will visit the oldest mosque in the region. İremit Mosque is a small but different mosque where wood craftsmanship and madder dyes meet.

             Our next stop is Camili village on the Georgian border and the Georgian border gate located in the village.

After setting off towards Borcka, we take a break for scenery and oxygen at the Macahel Pass. We hope to be able to take as many wonderful photos as the fog and clouds allow while enjoying the view.

Our next stop is Borçka Karagöl. We take a nice walk around the lake, taking lots of photos, accompanied by its wonderful view.

             We leave the coastal road from our Karagöl trip and go to the Tea Factory, the last stop of our trip. In workshops where we can see the stages that tea goes through, we learn the processes it goes through before it reaches our tables and the brewing methods of Black Sea tea by seeing it firsthand.

After our tea factory visit, unfortunately, we are heading towards Rize-Artvin Airport to see you off…
