Ramada Plaza Rize

Rize is a coastal city in the eastern part of the Black Sea Region of Turkey. It is the seat of Rize Province and Rize District. Its population is 119,828 (2021). Rize is a typical Turkish provincial capital with little in the way of nightlife or entertainment. Since the border with Georgia was opened in the early 1990s, the Black Sea coast road has been widened and the town is much wealthier than it used to be. Current Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's family has its roots in Rize and the local university is named after him. The city is linked by road with Trabzon, Hopa, and Erzurum (south). The Rize–Artvin Airport started operating in 2022.

At Rize, you'll find a mixture of traditional Turkish culture and modern amenities. The area is known for its lush tea plantations, which produce some of the best tea in the world. You can take a tour of the plantations, sample the tea, and even purchase some to take home with you.

The Kaçkar Mountains offer an abundance of outdoor activities, including hiking, trekking, and camping. The scenery is breathtaking, with snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and cascading waterfalls. One of the most popular hikes is to the summit of Mount Kaçkar, which offers panoramic views of the entire region.
