Full description

Ready for an unforgettable journey through the natural wonders of the Black Sea? The Elevit Day Tour from Trabzon starts in the morning at Atatürk Square. Throughout the tour, we explore the unique beauty of the Eastern Black Sea region, including Fırtına Valley, historic stone bridges, high mountain villages, and hidden waterfalls in the heart of Rize.

Our first stop is the lush and scenic Fırtına Valley. Here, guests can enjoy optional adrenaline-filled activities like rafting or ziplining (not included in the price). Next, we visit the iconic Şenyuva (Çinçiva) Bridge, followed by a short walk and photo break in the charming Şenyuva Village. Continuing our journey, we explore one of the most dramatic historical landmarks of the region, the cliffside Zilkale. Then, we take a peaceful nature walk through the Boxwood Forest (Şimşir Ormanı), known for its rich biodiversity and fresh mountain air.

Our route continues through pine forests as we head toward Çat Valley. At the famous Çat Bridge, we pause to enjoy a refreshing walk in nature along the riverside. Then it’s time for the highlight of the day — Elevit Plateau. Wooden bridges, crystal-clear streams, and lush pastures surround us as we spend about 1.5 hours of free time to explore, hike, take photos, or simply breathe in the clean mountain air.

On the return journey, we make a final stop at the hidden natural gem of the region — Palovit Waterfall. With its powerful cascade and refreshing spray, it’s the perfect finale to a day filled with nature and discovery. We return to Trabzon in the evening, ending our journey.

Don’t miss this chance to discover the highlands of Rize on the Elevit Plateau Day Tour from Trabzon — a full day of natural beauty, cultural landmarks, and unforgettable moments awaits!
