Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went for the view but we regretted it, wish we hadn't ended our day here. If we had not arranged a place and paid in advance, we would never have stayed. Everything is way above its value, businesses quote prices according to the individual. The service we received was well below the prices. The interest in Arab tourists is never extended to domestic tourists. I can't say any of the food we ate was good. Everyone has turned their homes into hostels, far from business logic, inflated prices and very bad services. I will never go again. If you don't want to waste your money, definitely take a trip; I recommend you find other routes for food and accommodation.

Ayder is a great little village up the mountain. It is getting developed for tourism but still holds much of the charm of a mountain village. Lots of restraunts and shops. We really thought it was sweet and the people were very nice. Think Breckenridge (US) european ski village. If you keep going up the hill and have car with high clearance, you can go up to other very small villages and half way up, hike along a lovely stream to a beautiful lake. Further up the road you get almost to the top of the mountains and are above the clouds. Well worth a day. There are places to camp all along the way.

Unfortunately, our values made me feel a stranger in my hometown because of the waste in this area. They gave me such a heavenly land to the Arabs. Unfortunately, I picked up a place where I would never go again in my life. Unfortunately, my heart was broken and you will take a photo with your own phone. If you won't eat 50 TL, there is no tea dessert service.

This was probably a beautiful scenic little village in the mountains once upon a time but those days are long gone. It is now overcrowded, full of overpriced restaurants and gift shops, the parking and roads are diabolical and there is no sign of any local culture. It is very popular with Arabic tourists so the food , menus etc are in Arabic as well as Turkish. Avoid.

If you go expecting crowds and an overrun meadow, this is what you will find. If you have an appropriate vehicle, keep driving through Ayder and up the dirt road as far as you can go. You will have a much better idea of what the yaylasi should be like and you will leave the crowds behind. Definitely worth the extra 30 - 45 minute drive on a dry day in the right vehicle. Ayder has lots of tourist shops and cafes, but not much other reason to stay. You will find more beautiful views on other parts of your drive in the area.

This is a Great place to visit
It's best to go in the off-season to avoid large crowds. We visited in july and it was crowded ..
The weather was perfect...
There is alot of restaurants, coffee shops and 3 star hotels.

Ayder plateau or highland is a great tourist spot in northern Black Sea region. Simply touch the clouds close to you or even more down. Amazing street start from the top of the area, passing by hundreds of hotels, shops, restaurants and cafes. A great time for relaxation and watch the beauty of the nature.

I could only take photos of Arabs and hotels in Ayder Plateau, one of the rare beauties of my country. I have photographed Arabs from every country. Before I went, I looked at the comments here and said, "No, it's not possible." Still, I persisted and I'm one of those who wrote this review. If you've never seen Ayder, believe me, you haven't lost anything. However, if you really want, you can look at the photos on Google. At least you won't get angry and those beautiful photos will come to your mind every time Ayder is mentioned. Have a nice trip to all of you.

The view is magnificent, intertwined with nature, but I have bad news for you. You will encounter a community that has become Arab. If you want to sit somewhere and have something to eat, the Arabs should be taken care of first, then the community of tradesmen who will take care of you if they want. There are Arabic signs everywhere. The employees speak Arabic. It is a pity that there are no people who speak Turkish to your face. We are very sorry for such beautiful places. We do not recommend them to anyone. Although we don't, we don't plan on coming again.

While the old nature doesn’t exist, it’s worth a visit. If you’re riding on your own and don’t want to stay in Aydar, if there’s a large parking lot at the entrance (free), park there and take the free shuttles to Aydar (3 mins). If you drive, you’ll have parking issues. Outside the little green space, there’s a step-by-step restaurant, Cafe, and hotel. But it’s a place worth visiting again

I am planning to stay in Ayder Yaylasi for two nights. Willing to go to Fitina Deresi, Zil Kale, Kackar Mili Park and Huser Yaylasi. Can anyone tell if its an easy drive from Trabzon to Ayder Yaylasi? Like if I m driving there by myself, what vehicle should I take? Manual or automatic. Are the roads very steep? Also, tell about roads near Firtina Deresi. Please tell me so I will rent car accordingly, Also, I m from Pakistan and we have right hand drive here. Turkey has left hand drive vehicles.

Sadece yayla yolları engebeli ve bozuktur diğer gideceğin yerler için clio yeterli olacaktır.clio ile de yaylayı gezebilirsin ama daha yavaş gitmen gerekebilir.büyük araban olursa istediğin her yaylayı rahatça gezebilirsin.

merhaba!
Oraya minibüs alabilir miyim? Ben köylerde yaşayan insanların arabaları olmadığından eminim ki oraya giden minibüsler olmalı.
Can I take a minibus up there? I am sure the people who live in the villaes don't have cars so there must be minibuses that go there.
tesekkurler:)

hi, i am planning to visit ayder by the end of this month . should i expect lush green areas ? i don't like visiting areas with snow too much . i am also visiting uzungol and savsat and i have the same questions about it aswell. kindly guide me regarding the scenery . thank you !!
Written 14 April 2018
Hello! All place that you’re visiting are green areas however they’re surrounded by small traditional shops and restaurants with nice views. The snow is on the top of the mountain so you won’t reach it. Uzungol has more activities that can be done than ayder. You can rent a bike or tuktuk and discover the small village with the beautiful lake. There are playing areas for kids too, and many coffee shops and restaurants around the lake.

Hi im visiting Ayder on 23 September I would like to know if it is easier to reaching ayder from Trabzon by car
Written 16 September 2017
I am sorry to answer so late. If you can, it is good to take a car because although there are busses, it takes many changes to get to Ayder. The usual route for busses is Trabzon to Çamlıhemşin , then take local transportation for there. With a car, though , there are many placed in the Hemşin valley/Fırtına valleys that you can go - Zilkale, the Palovit waterfall (very beautiful), etc. From Ayder you can get a tour up to the Pokut Layla (plateau), and also up into the Kaçkar mountains. you can drive to these places, but only with 4-wheel drive and a very good map. They sell these in Ayder.

Hi!
I'm visiting Ayder in first week of May for a couple of days and looking for a day tour around Ayder. Whatever i've found is usually for June-September season. Is May a bad time to go to Ayder in terms of difficulty reaching there or activities?
Also i would like some advice about the road from Rize to Ayder. I'm planning to rent a mid size or compact car from trabzon airport to go to ayder and will return it back at the airport 3 days later. Is the mid size car OK to reach Ayder or is the road such that I should get a 4x4?
Desperately waiting for your good advice!
Thanks!
