Review:
Despite its gloomy name, the Black Sea is just as worthy of your time as the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. The region receives an astonishing amount of rainfall every year, so although the skies aren't always blue and sunny, the land is green and lush. The climate is excellent for farming; visitors can check out terraced tea plantations, huge hazelnut farms, and some of the world's oldest cherry orchards.
Most visitors choose to begin their time here in the city of Trabzon, but there are also plenty of tiny fishing villages for those who want to get a taste of traditional Turkish culture. Black Sea Map
