 Into the Clouds: Discovering the Highlands of the Turkish Black Sea

Welcome to the Black Sea Highlands — Türkiye’s hidden paradise in the sky.

The Karadeniz (Black Sea) region is one of Türkiye’s most breathtaking and untouched treasures. Its lush green mountains, fresh air, foggy landscapes, and traditional wooden houses create a dreamlike world far from the busy cities.

Yayla Life: Where Nature and Culture Meet

“Yayla” means highland in Turkish — a place where locals have lived for centuries during summer months. Here, time slows down. Life is simple, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature.

Top Highland Destinations:

Ayder Yaylası (Rize): Famous for its waterfalls, wooden lodges, and thermal springs.

Pokut Yaylası: A photographer’s dream — cloud-covered hills, wooden cottages, and 360° views.

Elevit & Gito Yaylası: Less crowded, perfect for hiking and cultural encounters.

Uzungöl (Trabzon): A beautiful mountain lake surrounded by misty pine forests and cozy guesthouses.

Nature at Its Purest

Karadeniz highlands are full of rivers, wildflowers, tea fields, and mountain trails. Wake up to the sound of birds, breathe in the fresh foggy air, and explore untouched beauty that changes with every season.

Traditional Culture and Warm Hospitality

Meet locals who wear traditional clothes, dance the horon, and serve you muhlama (a cheesy cornmeal dish), karalahana soup, and fresh dairy. The region’s hospitality is as warm as its tea.

Perfect for Peace and Adventure

Whether you want to hike, take stunning photos, learn about local culture, or just relax with mountain views — the highlands offer it all.

Why Visit the Highlands?

Because it’s a place where you feel alive, calm, and connected to something bigger. It’s not just a destination — it’s an experience you carry with you.

Come Breathe Above the Clouds

Discover the magic of Türkiye’s mountain soul. The highlands of Karadeniz are waiting with open skies, open hearts, and unforgettable moments.

See you in the clouds,
