Turkey's Black Sea Region – a Journey Off the Beaten Path

This is Turkey as you have probably never seen it before: DW reporter Sarah Hucal (‪@sarahhucal‬) takes you on a journey through the remote Black Sea region, far in the country's northeast. Diving deep into the cultures and traditions of the region, Sarah shows you incredible nature, local dishes, and traditions. She even attends an evening of music and dance at the Black Sea.
Would you dance along?
By the way, Sarah was there at the end of October and a little surprised by the early snowfall. ❄😀
