📖 About Rize
Rize is a coastal city in the eastern part of the Black Sea Region of Turkey.
It is the seat of Rize Province and Rize District.
Its population is 119,828 (2021). Rize is a typical Turkish provincial capital with little in the way of nightlife or entertainment. Since the border with Georgia was opened in the early 1990s, the Black Sea coast road has been widened and the town is much wealthier than it used to be. Current Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's family has its roots in Rize and the local university is named after him. The city is linked by road with Trabzon, Hopa (55 miles [88 km] east on the Georgian border, and Erzurum. The Rize–Artvin Airport started operating in 2022.
