Famous for its tea and richly green nature, Rize is a medium-sized port city of Turkey's Black Sea Region with nearly 330,000 inhabitants. Famous in Turkey for its local tea blend, Rize is one of the wettest cities in Turkey, and enjoys a moderate/temperate climate all year round.
As is with many cities around Anatolia, Rize has played host to many empires and cultures over the years, and they have all left their historical traces in the architecture of the region. But it is the plateau tourism that makes Rize a center of attraction for tourists. The most famous plateaus are Anzer Yaylası (plateau), Ayder Yaylası, Ikizdere Yaylası and Palovit Yaylası. Those seeking a peaceful and healthy atmosphere can find it in the lush forests and wondrous greenery of the region.
Some local tastes worth a try are hamsili pilav (anchovy rice), turşu kavurma (fried pickles) and enişte lokumu (Turkish delight). You can reach the city by sea, land, and rail.
