Full Description
Uzungol's Misty Shoreline
Uzungol lies in the forested hills south of Trabzon, its calm lake bordered by pine slopes and timber guesthouses climbing the surrounding ridges. Early mornings often bring a soft mist across the water, giving the lake a hushed mood that draws visitors from across the Black Sea coast. Selecting this route for your private day means the car carries you up through mountain bends before the lake opens out below. Footpaths trace the shoreline, small cafes sit at the water's edge, and higher viewpoints reward anyone willing to climb further. Because the vehicle and driver answer to you alone, you decide how long to stay beside the water before moving on.
The Cliffside Walls of Sumela
High above a forested gorge, the cliff securing Sumela Monastery is one of the more dramatic sights reached on this Trabzon service, with the drive itself climbing through the Zigana pass and skirting Hamsikoy on the way up. Choosing this option sends your driver along winding roads that climb steadily into pine-covered peaks before the monastery's frescoed walls come into view against the cliff. Hamsikoy is known locally for its dairy, and many guests ask to pause there before continuing toward Sumela itself. The Zigana pass adds a further stretch of dramatic mountain scenery, with switchbacks and wide valley views along the way. Because this is a private route, your driver can slow down at any bend or stop at Hamsikoy for as long as your group wishes.
Hidirnebi Plateau, Cal Cave and Sera Lake
Hidirnebi is an open highland plateau where wooden farmhouses sit scattered across green slopes, offering wide views back toward the coast on a clear day. This route continues to Cal Cave, a natural limestone formation that rewards visitors willing to explore its chambers on foot, before finishing at Sera Lake, a small still body of water framed by trees close to the city. The combination suits groups who want variety within a single day, moving from open highland pasture to underground rock formations and finally to a gentle lakeside stop. Your private driver sets the pace between each location, allowing longer stops at Cal Cave or a quieter finish beside Sera Lake as your group prefers.
Firtina Valley to Ayder Plateau
The road to Ayder follows the Firtina valley, where a fast-flowing river cuts beneath stone bridges and steep green slopes rise on either side. Wooden houses appear along the route as the road climbs toward Ayder itself, a highland plateau known for its natural hot springs and cool mountain air even in summer. This route rewards travellers who enjoy dramatic valley scenery on the drive itself, not only the destination at the end of it. Because the car is reserved only for your party, photo stops along the Firtina river are never rushed, and your driver can pause at any bridge or viewpoint your group finds worth lingering at.
An Afternoon in Rize
Rize sits directly on the Black Sea coast, its hillsides covered in neat rows of tea gardens that give the whole region its distinctive green colour. Choosing Rize city as your route brings your private driver into the town itself, past the harbour and through streets shaped by generations of tea trade rather than mass tourism. It suits travellers who would rather see how people actually live along this coastline than follow a fixed sightseeing checklist. Because the schedule bends entirely around your group, you can ask your driver to slow through the tea gardens on the approach or spend longer walking the town centre than a shared itinerary would normally allow.
Trabzon's Own Streets at Your Pace
A Trabzon city tour keeps your private driver within the city itself, moving between historic quarters, the harbour area and viewpoints over the Black Sea without the drive time a highland route requires. This choice suits travellers who arrived late, are departing the same evening, or simply prefer to explore their base city thoroughly before venturing further afield. Because no other passengers share the vehicle, you can ask to spend extra time in any one quarter that catches your interest, or return to a street market that deserves a second look. It also works well as a first-day option, letting you get oriented before choosing a highland or coastal route on a later day.
The Long Coastal Run to Ordu and Giresun
The premium route beyond Trabzon follows the coast road toward Ordu and Giresun, two towns further along the Black Sea shoreline that see fewer visitors than Trabzon itself. This option suits groups who have already covered the closer highland routes and want to push further along the coast in a single flexible day. Because the distance covered is greater, your private driver can adjust the balance between driving and stopping according to what your party wants to see, whether that means longer pauses in each town or a steadier coastal drive with shorter stops. It remains, like every other route, entirely private to your group alone.
Choosing a Different Route Each Morning
Each Car with Driver In Trabzon booking covers exactly one day, with that morning's destination narrowed down to a single pick among the highland lake at Uzungol, the Sumela and Hamsikoy climb, the Hidirnebi plateau paired with Cal Cave and Sera Lake, the Ayder and Firtina run, Rize, central Trabzon itself, or the longer Ordu and Giresun coast. Many families and groups book the service across several days of their stay, picking a different route each morning so the week builds into a fuller picture of the region rather than repeating the same scenery. Because each day is arranged separately, you can decide the next route based on how your group felt about the last one, rather than committing to a fixed multi-day plan in advance.
Who This Private Day Suits
This service suits families travelling with children or grandparents who need a flexible pace, couples who prefer privacy over a shared coach, and small groups of friends who want to set their own priorities for the day. Because no other travellers or hotel stops interrupt the route, the vehicle can adjust to naps, photo breaks or a slower walk around any single stop without affecting anyone else's plans. It also suits guests staying in Trabzon for several days who want to sample more than one highland or coastal route without repeating the same shared group tour twice during their visit.
Pickup, Timing and Booking Your Day
Pickup for any of these routes comes straight to your Trabzon hotel or chosen address rather than a shared meeting point, and the car stays with you across the full eight-hour window that opens at ten and closes at six. Haqqi Tours confirms the exact route and price in writing before the day begins, and our desk answers questions on WhatsApp in Arabic and English if your group wants to change plans closer to the date. Trabzon's busiest weeks, especially when families are chasing Uzungol's morning mist or Ayder's cooler air, fill this private booking quickly, so confirming your date with our desk ahead of arrival is worth doing before the rest of your Black Sea stay is planned.
Good to know
- Choose your route the night before so your driver can plan the best departure time for Uzungol, Ayder, or your preferred highland destination.
- Pack warm layers even in summer, since Uzungol and Ayder sit at altitude and temperatures drop quickly once the sun disappears.
- Wear sturdy, closed shoes if you plan to walk around Sumela Monastery, Cal Cave, or the villages near Hidirnebi.
- Bring a swimsuit and towel if you fancy the Firtina river valley, where guests often stop for photos beside the rushing water.
- Carry cash in Turkish lira for small purchases, tea houses, or local snacks along the Rize and Ordu coastal roads.
- Tell your driver in advance if children or elderly travellers are joining, so the pace and stops can be adjusted comfortably.
- Charge your camera and phone fully, since the misty valleys and cliff-hanging monastery views make for unforgettable photographs.
- Ask your driver to extend time at any single stop, since the entire day bends around your family or group alone.
