The highest peak of Tonya is the 1900 m high Karakisrak Hill. There are no large streams and lakes within the boundaries of the district. The most important stream is Fol Creek. Fol Creek originates from Erikbeli Hill, within the borders of Kürtün District, south of Tonya.
After passing the Tonya lands towards the north, it pours into the Black Sea from the center of Vakfikebir District. The second important stream is Çamlık Stream, which takes its source from Toksar Hill and empties into the sea from Beşikdüzü District.
The regime of the streams is not regular. In spring, the amount of water increases as the snow melts.
It decreases in summer. However, the above-mentioned streams have never been seen to dry up.
Climate
The climate is a transition area between the Black Sea climate and the continental climate. Forests located on the hills rising from the Black Sea coast constantly absorb moisture. The water vapor from the sea condenses here and turns into fog. For this reason, most of the days are foggy, especially in summer. Sunny weather is more common in autumn. The average temperature in summer is 20 degrees, in winter it is around 6-7 degrees.
The vegetation in the environment shows a parallelism with the effect of the climate. The vast majority of the land is covered by pastures and forests and dense forests are around Kalmçam Village in the south of the district. These forests consist of broad and coniferous trees. The best growing tree in the region is alder. It can grow on its own without human effort.
