Çamlıhemşin
A valley town on the banks of the Fırtına River, serving as a transport hub and supply point for trips to Ayder and Zilkale.
Çamlıhemşin is a valley town inhabited by the Hemshin people. Its houses are built along the river, and a single-arch stone bridge stands at the town entrance. It is the junction for routes to Ayder (about 17 km) and to Zilkale. The town has a minibus terminal, banks, supermarkets and rafting companies. Riverside restaurants serve trout and kuymak, a Black Sea cornmeal dish. It is ideal for stocking up, a brief stop and tasting Hemshin cuisine, but you don't need to stay overnight.
