Arhavi Attractions

1. Ciha Castle: I went to see Ciha Castle, a few kilometers away from the center of Arhavi to explore this historical castle. Built by the Genoese in the 14th century, the castle is fascinating both for its history and natural beauty. The castle is surrounded by lush forests, and the view of Arhavi from the heights of the castle is a truly wonderful experience. I am sure you will be amazed by this view when you visit.

2. Mençuna Waterfall:When I saw Mençuna Waterfall, I felt as if I had stepped into another world. The waterfall falls from a height of 90 meters and when combined with the surrounding forest, a wonderful view of nature emerges. As you hike to reach the waterfall, you feel like you are in nature. That refreshing coolness, the peace of nature, becomes more enjoyable with every step.

3. Ortacalar Double Arch Bridge: When I visited this stone bridge, I really felt that time stopped. Built in the 18th century, this bridge is one of the most interesting structures of Arhavi. The stream passing under the bridge, which consists of two arches side by side, is really magnificent as a view. It was very enjoyable to take photos and cross the bridge. When every moment is filled with such a historical and natural atmosphere, it feels like traveling back in time.

4. Kamilet Valley: When I stepped into Kamilet Valley, I really understood what it meant to be in touch with nature. Walking in the middle of the valley, I was surrounded only by greenery and silence. While hiking in this valley, you can also see other natural wonders such as Mençuna Waterfall. It is possible to deeply feel the peace offered by nature while visiting this region.

5. Hıdırnebi Plateau: When I went up to Hıdırnebi Plateau, I looked at the wonderful view of Arhavi from high up and I was really mesmerized. You can see every shade of green here and the view was very impressive. I enjoyed being in a very calm environment during my time on the plateau. Be sure to visit this plateau to find peace in the surrounding nature.

6. Ulugöl: Ulugöl is a paradise for birdwatchers. While walking around the lake, it was very enjoyable to see different bird species. Listening to the sound of birds in a peaceful environment remained one of the most beautiful memories in my mind as one of the undiscovered beauties of Arhavi.

7. Arhavi Tea Gardens: While sipping my morning coffee, I also enjoyed drinking freshly brewed tea in Arhavi's famous tea gardens. The tea gardens reveal how serious Arhavi is about tea production. When you visit, you can try the local tea and enjoy a break in nature.

8. Palovit Waterfall: Visiting Palovit Waterfall was a great opportunity to explore the nature of Arhavi. Being in touch with nature along the walking path around the waterfall and spending time in a calm and peaceful atmosphere was a truly unique experience. The power and sound of the waterfall affects you deeply.

9. Kavaklar Creek: As I walked along Kavaklar Creek, I felt the silence and beauty of the nature around me. This creek is one of the most natural and calm areas of Arhavi. While walking, you find peace with the sound of the water in the stream and get lost in nature.

10. Kapisre Stream: I had the opportunity to go rafting in Kapisre Creek and it was a really great experience. If you like water sports, this region is for you. It was incredible to reach the peak of adrenaline during rafting and enjoy being in touch with nature.
