Private Tour to Elevit Plateau and Fırtına Valley from Trabzon offers an unforgettable experience for those who want to enjoy the nature, history, and culture of the Black Sea region all in one day. Starting from Trabzon, this private tour gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace with a dedicated vehicle and professional guide. Throughout the day, you will travel through lush valleys, historic stone bridges, powerful waterfalls, and high plateaus, discovering the authentic spirit of the region.
Our first stop is the famous Fırtına Valley, known for its fast-flowing river and vibrant greenery. Here, adventurous guests can try optional activities such as ziplining or rafting (extra). We then continue deeper into the valley to visit the iconic Şenyuva (Çinçiva) Bridge, one of the oldest stone arch bridges in the area, where you can enjoy a short walk and take stunning photos.
Next, we visit Palovit Waterfall, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Black Sea region. The powerful cascade and its beautiful surroundings create the perfect spot to relax and capture great pictures. Afterward, we head to the Boxwood Forest (Şimşir Ormanı), where a short nature walk allows you to breathe in the fresh air and admire this rare and unique ecosystem.
We continue to the scenic Çat Bridge for a brief stop before driving up to the breathtaking Elevit Plateau, located at 1,800 meters. Here you will have about 1.5 hours of free time to explore the traditional wooden highland houses, enjoy the cool mountain air, walk along the streams, taste local dishes, or simply take in the postcard-like views.
Our final stop is the impressive Zilkale, a medieval castle dramatically perched on the cliffs of the valley. After exploring this historic site and admiring the spectacular views, we begin our return journey to Trabzon, ending a day filled with culture, history, and natural beauty.
