This trip also allows you to discover sumptuous landscapes such as The Black Sea region is one of the seven regions of Turkey and includes almost all the provinces adjoining the Black Sea. This region owes its name to the Black Sea which borders it. It is therefore bordered to the north by the Black Sea, to the east by Georgia, to the south by the region of Eastern Anatolia and by that of Central Anatolia, and to the west by that of Marmara.
The eastern part of this coast receives an average of 2500mm of rainfall per year. As a result, the Black Sea region brings together a large part of Turkey’s natural wealth.
