Black Sea Region - Karadeniz Bolgesi
Black Sea Region, named after the neighbouring Black Sea, is a place where you can see
all different tones of green and enjoy scenic mountains and plateaus with a mild climate. Although Black Sea is connected
to the Mediterrenean Sea with the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles Strait,
its water is milder and creates a completely
different climate compared to the Mediterrenean climate. Heavy rainfall makes the scarce lands of the region very fertile,
allowing the production of more than half of the world`s hazelnut and almost all of the famous Turkish tea.
Western Black Sea Region has a warmer climate and hosts more industrialized and modern cities like
Zonguldak, Bolu and Duzce.
Middle and eastern Black Sea Region, however, are more in touch with nature and attract nature lovers with plateau tourism
facilities.
Trabzon, on the east of this region, was the capital of the Pontus Greek Empire and keeps the history well protected. You
can see the amazing Sumela Monastery built on a mountain side, or the
Trabzon Ayasofya Church from the Orthodox Pontus Greeks.
