Practical information about Rize
Reviews of Rize
An unpretentious small town full of really nice people.
My suggestion:
Rize's pedestrianized street is lined with 1001 tastes, so you can buy something delicious and take it to the shore.
Summary:
Rize is a little town on the Black Sea coast which doesn't look like much at first glance. The sea is not very inviting for swimming, but I enjoyed the town's amenities and its folk concerts, between cups of tea and hookahs. My local buddies were future naval officers who wanted to learn more about the world they were taking on.

Rize, the region where the most amount of tea is produced in Turkey.
My suggestion:
You need to leave the city to discover a very pretty green natural environment.
Summary:
Rize is located between the large city of Trabzon and Georgia, alongside the Black Sea. In Rize, you have the choice: either you admire the Black Sea from one perspective, or you go inland to discover the mountains covered in tea plantations. In fact, it's a very important region for tea production in Turkey. It's not surprising because in this country, the tea called "çai" is drunk at any time without moderation.
This region is particularly humid, green and mountainous. Apart from the tea which covers the hills, the city of Rize isn't very attractive. When leaving Rize on the road to Georgia, many hikes are possible among streams, waterfalls and forest. Here, I remember seeing Turkey from a new angle, from a more agricultural and traditional perspective, as women were working alone in their fields in the mountains.
