On Türkiye’s northeastern coast, the Rize region offers adventure in every direction.
Euronews journalist Cinzia Rizzi joins rafters on the Fırtına River, where clear waters and wild rapids live up to its name—'storm'. From there, it’s ziplining above the valley and swinging over lush highlands.
The journey continues to the Kaçkar Mountains, home to one of the country’s toughest trail runs and a growing destination for outdoor lovers.
