Fellow travelers,

Our journey begins at 08:30 from the base of the Tea Glass monument in the center of Rize. After an enjoyable three-hour drive, we will arrive in Borçka. Following a short break, we will continue our route toward Şavşat.

Along the way, we will stop by the scenic banks of the Çoruh River for lunch (not included). Guests who wish may join an exciting experience on the longest zipline in the Turkish region. We then head to Artvin and ascend to Atatepe, where we’ll enjoy panoramic views of the city and take plenty of memorable photos. Here, you'll also have the chance to see the largest Atatürk statue in the Turkish region up close.

Our next visit is to Deriner Dam, one of the highest concrete dams in the world, standing at 817 feet (250 meters)—even taller than the Hoover Dam in the United States. We’ll take a break at the observation deck to capture the breathtaking views before continuing our journey.

We’ll then visit Hell's River Canyon in Ardanuç, a natural wonder that promises awe-inspiring landscapes. To end the day, we’ll stop for a photo break at Yavuz Village Observation Terrace, and afterward, we will check into our hotel in Şavşat for included dinner and overnight accommodation.

Day 2

Our journey then takes us to Yeniköy and Efkar Mountain Top . With its lush greenery, mountains, and serene lakes, the nature of the Eastern Black Sea region will surely captivate you. From our final stop in Yeniköy, we will begin our return journey from Şavşat.
