İkizdere

İkizdere stretches across 3,920 square kilometers of mountainous terrain at 530 meters elevation, featuring narrow valleys and forest-covered slopes along the Black Sea region.

In 67 BCE, the region witnessed a military campaign by Roman general Pompey against local tribes who utilized mad honey as a defensive strategy.

The name derives from the convergence of Çamlık and Cimil rivers, reflecting the agricultural traditions centered around tea cultivation and beekeeping in the area.

Visitors can access information about local services and events through the district office website, with the area code 464 for telephone communications.

The Anzer plateau within İkizdere produces specific honey from endemic flowers that grow exclusively in this mountainous environment.
