Zilkale Kaledibi Cafe

The castle itself is not that big but really nice. The view is amazing from every single corner in the castle. The roads to get to the area is bad. The parking area is crowded and many drivers were not following the roles. It took us about 30 minutes to park (on 200 meter long street).

I'm bewildered by the existence of such historic monument located on a mountain range. The atmosphere is reflective of the sanctity the dwellers/rulers of the time attached to it. I was equally filled with great reverence owing to the fact that this ancient castle is situated at a point previously used as an alternative route for ancient silk trade. This piece of wonder is truly worthy of visiting...

Interesting place to visit in Rize-Ardeshen. 3 lira entrance fee for adult. Place to take few nice memory pictures.

Many informational signs and well-preserved. Fantastic views of the valley and definitely worth the drive to see it.

An amazing historic site, worth to visit in your blacksea tour;

Dates back to 1000 A.D. one of the rare historic castles, largely preserved in the black sea region. You can feel how this castle was so important when you see the mauntionous geography that surrounds it.

Should be included in must-visited list.
Be careful with children due to heights and long walls.

An Ammazing place would recommend visiting it and it is on the mountain with a great view of mountains

Amazing castle and the views is just breathtakingly beautiful.

Nice place to get Turkish coffee

Beautiful view. Nice to drink something in the cafe and relax..

Nice place but small

Wonderful place. To be visited in spring to autumn.

Beautiful place. I wish that we can see all the castle. Just the outside place is opened for the tourists. U can go by car straight forword through the forest to see a big beautiful waterfall. I guess it took 15 min to arrive to the water ful.

This is a beautiful little castle located in a very nice valley. For 5 Turkish lira you can get inside the castle and take some beautiful photos.
The road up to the castle, and then up to the waterfall, is beautiful in itself and deserves a visit.

The road to castle nice , nice lock

Small castle with a nice view.
