Trabzon → Rize: key facts

Private transfer, Trabzon Airport (TZX) to Rize: the car (1–3 passengers) is €95 and the van (4–8) is €140, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 72 km on the road via D010; about 55 min off-peak, 55–65 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (the domestic or the international terminal of Trabzon Airport), just after the baggage reclaim exit, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Rize is the capital of the neighbouring province to the east and the centre of Turkey's tea growing region. The whole route follows the coastal highway along the Black Sea, passing Yomra, Arakli, Surmene, Of, Iyidere and Derepazari, with the sea on the left and steep green hills on the right. The distance is about 72 km, usually under an hour of driving. The highway is dual carriageway most of the way, but town crossings and traffic lights slow it down at busy times.

Central Rize lies on a narrow strip between the sea and the hills, with the governor's office, the municipality and the main mosque close together near the seafront. Rize Castle sits on the slope above the centre, and the Ziraat tea garden on the hill offers views over the town and the tea terraces. Most hotels are in the compact centre or along the coastal road and can be reached directly by car. East of Rize the coast road continues to Pazar and Ardesen, the gateways to the Firtina valley and the Ayder highland.

Public transport instead: Havas bus Rize - Trabzon Airport shuttle from Rize (stop beside the governor's office) to Trabzon Airport, via Derepazari, Iyidere, Of, Surmene and Arakli, the published Havas summer timetable lists eight runs a day from Rize to the airport (about 75 min), arranged around domestic flights; runs from the airport to Rize are not listed and services change with flight cancellations.
