İkizdere, Administrative district in Rize Province, Turkey
İkizdere is an administrative district in Rize Province, Turkey, stretching across mountainous terrain with narrow valleys and forest-covered slopes along the Black Sea region. The area sits at around 530 meters in elevation and is carved by two river systems.
The region experienced a military campaign in 67 BCE by Roman general Pompey against local tribes. This early conflict shaped how the area connected with powers from beyond its borders.
The name comes from two rivers meeting, and it connects deeply to how people have shaped the land through tea farming and beekeeping. These activities define how the area looks and feels today.
The best time to visit is during growing seasons when the landscape is most active and local activities are visible. The district operates with area code 464 for phone communications and can provide information about local services through its administrative office.
The Anzer plateau within this district produces a special honey made from flowers found nowhere else on earth. These rare flowers thrive because of the particular elevation and weather conditions the plateau provides.
