Çaykara

Tiny district town in Trabzon province set in a V-shaped valley along the Solaklı River, with old-growth temperate forest rising toward alpine tundra in the Pontic Mountains above. The area includes Uzungöl, a lakeside destination with a strong photographic profile, and Taşkıran, both drawing visitors into the surrounding highland landscape.
