This is hilly countryside inland from the [[Black Sea]], forest-covered steep mountainside separated by narrow valleys, with areas of high pasture. The İkizdere is formed from streams running out of the Rize Mountains and continues down to the Black Sea, it is dammed for hydro-electric power and for irrigation. There is snow on the high peaks and lots of glacial formation. The climate is typical of the Black Sea region i.e. it rains all the time. There is broad-leaf forest at lower elevations and pine higher up.

İkizdere is an agricultural district, growing tea on the hillsides and potatoes in the valley, and now some kiwi fruit are being planted also. Cattle and sheep are grazed on the hillsides, going up to the high pastures (''[[Yaylak|yayla]]'') in summer. Beekeeping is another important source of income, particularly in the village of ''Anzer''. And this very attractive countryside is now attracting tourists, on trekking holidays. However, on the whole İkizdere is not a wealthy region and the younger generations migrate to Turkey's larger cities in search of jobs.

According to the Roman historians who were traveling with the army, the Heptakometes were barbarians living in the İkizdere valley. They were familiar with the effects of mad honey, they set out honey pots for the invading army to find. Most of the Roman soldiers consumed the honey and became intoxicated, then they were suddenly attacked and killed by the Heptakometes. Over 1800 Roman soldiers were killed during the attack. Mad honey was the world's first known biological weapon to be used in battle by Heptakomets.[citation needed]
