Known for their quick wit, the people of Rize have once again managed to be the center of attention with an interesting structure.
HE NAMED IT 'LAZKOPTER'
Sedat Şimşek, who runs a business in Derecik Village of Çayeli district in Rize, became the center of attention with the wooden helicopter he made in front of his establishment. Şimşek, who drew attention with the wooden helicopter he completed in about three months, named his creation 'Lazkopter'.
"THERE IS NO IMPOSSIBLE FOR A RIZELI"
Expressing that he wanted to create something different in the region, Şimşek said, "I felt the need to do something different in our area. 'Everyone is making zeppelins and so on, I will make something that no one has made, something that is not in our region and in Turkey,' I said. We are from Rize, there is no impossible for a Rizeli, and I thought about it for a week and made this decision. 'I will land this helicopter on the top of the mountain, in the garden of my establishment,' I said, and I did. This is how I brought Lazkopter to life. I completed it in a short time of about three months, regardless of snow and winter, to get it ready for our customers and foreign tourists as soon as possible for the summer," he said.
IT BECAME A TREND ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Şimşek stated that he received positive reactions from those who came to the region thanks to the rapidly spreading images on social media, saying, "So far, we have received great reactions, there is a high demand, both from social media and from those who come here, they are surprised and amazed. We didn't think it would explode this much; we just thought we would contribute to tourism in our Çayeli and attract a few more tourists, but we didn't expect it to gather this much interest," he expressed.
PEOPLE COME OUT OF CURIOSITY TO SEE IT
A citizen named Büşra Yılmaz, who found the structure interesting and came to see it after seeing it on social media with her friend, stated, "It has been an interesting idea on top of the mountain. Generally, they would make planes left by the roadside into restaurants, but here a helicopter has been made on top of the mountain. It suits a Rizeli, it is already a characteristic of our people. I completely recommend you to come here and enjoy this view with tea. We saw it on our friend's social media account, and thanks to that, we came here, and we are not disappointed. I definitely recommend this view to everyone," she said.
"THEY HAVE CREATED A DIFFERENT AMBIENCE"
Another citizen named Gürkan Erol stated that Lazkopter is a place that must be seen, saying, "We really liked it, we discovered this place on social media. This is definitely one of the places that should be seen. People can come here with their family, spouse, and friends. It has become something that suits a Rizeli, creating a different and unique ambiance," he said.
