💡 Tips

The weather in the Pontic Mountains can change rapidly; always pack a light jacket or raincoat, even on bright summer days.
If driving to the highland plateaus (yaylas) like Haçka, be prepared for narrow, winding roads and sudden mountain fog.
Public minibuses run from Trabzon, but renting a car gives you much more freedom to explore the remote natural sights.
When visiting the plateaus during summer festivals, expect loud traditional music and very large, enthusiastic crowds.

Düzköy is located in the Trabzon province on the eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey. The region is renowned for its panoramic natural beauty, where steep, evergreen mountain slopes meet the sea almost directly. Düzköy Plajı is the local beach, offering visitors the chance to bathe in the refreshing waves of the Black Sea. As tourism here remains very traditional, visitors will find mostly peace and authenticity away from the beaten path. Local gastronomy is an essential part of the Düzköy experience. The area is famous for its dairy products and traditional Black Sea dishes, such as Akçaabat Köfte, which originates nearby. The humid and mild climate ensures that the landscape remains lush green throughout the year. Visitors can take excursions to the nearby highlands (Yayla), known for their traditional lifestyle and cool mountain air. Düzköy gives a convenient insight into life on the Turkish Black Sea coast, characterized by tea plantations, hazelnut groves, and the warm hospitality of its residents.
