Key Info & Tips – Good to Know

Weather: The Black Sea region has a mild and humid climate. Summers are pleasantly warm, but be prepared for occasional rain showers, especially in highland areas like Artvin. Pack layers and waterproof clothing.

Terrain: Expect a mix of coastal views, lush green hills, and mountainous terrain. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for nature trails and city exploration.

Cultural Highlights: This tour offers a rich blend of history, from ancient Roman and Ottoman sites in Tokat and Amasya to traditional Black Sea culture in Trabzon and Artvin. Local hospitality is warm and genuine.

Cuisine: Don’t miss tasting regional specialties such as hamsi (anchovies), kuymak (cornmeal with cheese), and local teas. Fresh mountain herbs and trout dishes are also common.

Transport: Travel involves a combination of comfortable coach rides between cities and some light walking. Roads in mountainous areas may be winding.

Language: Turkish is the official language. English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, but knowing a few basic Turkish phrases can enhance your experience.

Health & Safety: The region is generally safe. Stay hydrated and follow guides’ advice during outdoor activities, especially in highland and forest areas.
