Set off on an unforgettable daily tour into the stunning landscapes of the Eastern Black Sea region. This fully guided day excursion invites you to escape the coast and ascend high into the misty mountains, where alpine meadows and traditional wooden architecture create a fairy-tale atmosphere.
Your journey begins with a convenient morning departure as you meet your guide for the day. Heading south from the coast into the dramatic gorges of Çamlıhemşin, your first stop introduces you to the cultural heritage of Şenyuva Village. Here, you can sip fresh local coffee and admire remarkable examples of traditional Black Sea architecture alongside the oldest masonry bridge spanning the rushing stream below.
Continuing upward, the road winds into the heights of the Kaçkar range until you reach the breathtaking Pokut Plateau at an altitude exceeding two thousand meters. Spend time capturing memorable photographs and relaxing in the fresh mountain air. Weather permitting, enjoy a gentle nature hike over to the neighboring Sal Plateau, where traditional wooden homes remain remarkably well-preserved. If conditions align, you may witness the legendary sea of clouds stretching beneath you, and perhaps treat yourself to regional rice pudding during your free time.
The adventure concludes with visits to two natural and historical crown jewels: the thundering Palovit Waterfall and the imposing medieval fortifications of Zil Kale. After a full day of mountain exploration, your return trip brings you comfortably back to your starting point, leaving you with lasting memories of Turkey's majestic northern highlands.

Highland Adventure to Pokut, Sal, and Fırtına Valley
Your day trip begins with morning hotel pickups from designated locations before heading toward the lush valleys of Çamlıhemşin. The initial stop takes you to Şenyuva Village, celebrated for its historic timber houses and a remarkably wide stone arch bridge crossing the rushing river. After a relaxing break for tea or coffee, the journey climbs higher into the mountains toward the legendary Pokut Plateau, situated at an altitude above 2,000 meters. Here, you will experience stunning vistas above the cloud line, enjoy a scenic lunch break, and take a guided nature walk to the neighboring Sal Plateau. During your free time, sample local treats such as regional rice pudding while soaking in the pristine alpine environment. The afternoon continues with a visit to the cascading waters of Palovit Waterfall nestled within a dense forest reserve. The final highlight of the excursion is Zil Kale, a strategically positioned medieval castle overlooking the deep valley gorge. Following this last historical stop, the vehicle begins the return drive, concluding the evening with drop-offs at your original departure points in Trabzon.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
