The D010 from Ardahan to Hopa is also one of the best drives in Turkey. This 168km ride takes you through such varied scenery throughout its countless twists and turns that you’ll feel as if you’ve crossed several countries in one ride. The views along the Chorochi river are astonishing. Once you come closer to the Black Sea coast you will see the many tea plantations. Tea or çay in Turkish is the main activity in this region.
