The present-day tribal culture in the mountainous coastal areas south of the Caucasian mountains in Georgia and north of the Pontic Alps in Turkey hasn’t changed much in the last 3,300 years, and our DMC partner ITEM Travel Turkey can create unforgegttable experiences for the most discerning traveler!
The migration from summer fishing to highland shepherding has always been a part of the culture. Mountain homes are called Yaylas and most families have more than one. Families fish at the coast, but as the temperatures rise, they move to a succession of homes higher in the mountain range. These homes are community property and were bequeathed during the Ottoman period.
Simple, physical geography preserves this unique collection of societies including the Abkhaz, Mingrelian, Laz, Cepni, Oguz, Rum, Hemsin, Circassian and Svans, who are squeezed into pockets along a narrow area of rugged terrain between the Black Sea and the steep coastal mountains.
