Uzungöl Plateau

Uzungöl is one of the most popular and most interesting destinations of lake tourism in our country. Uzungöl, one of the tourism paradises of the province of Trabzon, It has been designated as a tourism center by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.


It continues to be one of the frequented places of tourists with its activities such as nature walking and paragliding in Uzungöl, which is attracted by the natural beauty of the local and foreign tourists. The first settlement traces in this area, which is named Saraho, are seen in 1650. Today it is connected to the Çaykara district of Trabzon province.


Garester(Karester) Plateau

The Garester Plateau is one of the cleanest and regular plains of the Eastern Black Sea. The view of Uzungöl from the northern slope, which is perfectly situated and quite steep, is unique. The plateau provides its livelihood against all recreational and tourist attractions.


Lustra Plateau

It's a quite small plateau which has no tourism income and only has a limited livestock fattening income.


Actually these both small plateaus are better than Uzungöl Plateau because of their unique and beautiful nature. There you can make camping,trekking and also night photography. In these small plateaus you can stay in tents,but ,in Uzungöl you can find a lot of hotels and restaurants.
