A City on Green Ridges. Rize is the greenest province in Turkey. Agriculture is the most important sector in the economic life of the province. Thus, tea, the symbol of Rize, comes to mind. The tea plantations are closely lined up on the terraces in the environs. Along the coast, where there are many tea processing plants, the air smells of tea. At the Tea Festival held in Rize during the summer, a contest is held to select “the best tea grower”.
One can see a panoramic view of Rize with all its beauty from Ziraat Park, which is to the west of the city. The Kaçkar Mountains National Park located to the south and the slopes of this park facing the north constitute a realm of natural beauty. It is an ideal place for mountain climbing and trekking, with its glacial lakes, rapidly-flowing streams, high plateaus and mountain villages with cheerful residents.
