Sürmene knife workshops
Sürmene is famous for hand-made knives — a classic stop on the road to Uzungöl.
The coastal town of Sürmene has a long tradition of hand-forged knives, and its workshops show guests how blades are shaped and finished.
It is the first stop on the Uzungöl day, followed by a tea factory and a Turkish delight workshop before the drive up the valley.
