Trabzon City Tour
Tour Code: TT01
The jewel of the Black Sea, Trabzon lies between the deep blue waters of the coast and the misty peaks of the Zigana Mountains. Founded as Trazepos in ancient times, the city has been home to many civilizations — Byzantine, Komnenos, and Ottoman — each leaving behind traces of their culture and heritage. Conquered by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror, Trabzon became an important trading hub and cultural gateway connecting Anatolia to the Caucasus. Thanks to its mild and rainy climate, the region is lush with green landscapes, tea plantations, and natural beauty.
Trabzon Hagia Sophia Mosque
Built in the 13th century, this stunning Byzantine structure stands as one of Trabzon’s most significant landmarks. Its frescoes and architectural design reflect the city’s rich multicultural history and its unique role as a meeting point between East and West.
Walking through Trabzon’s lively streets, visitors discover Ottoman-era houses, local markets, and coastal views that capture the spirit of the Black Sea.
Trabzon Sümela Monastery Tour
Tour Code: TT02
Carved into the cliffs of Maçka Valley, 1,200 meters above sea level, the Sümela Monastery — also known as the Monastery of the Virgin Mary — is a breathtaking masterpiece of faith and architecture. Founded in the 4th century, the monastery has stood for centuries as a spiritual refuge amidst the mountains. Its complex includes a rock church, chapels, student rooms, a library, and sacred springs, all adorned with colorful frescoes depicting biblical scenes. Surrounded by dense forests, waterfalls, and misty peaks, Sümela is one of Türkiye’s most mystical and visually stunning landmarks — a place where history, spirituality, and nature unite.
Trabzon Uzungöl Lake Tour
Tour Code: TT03
Nestled in a valley surrounded by evergreen mountains, Uzungöl (meaning “Long Lake”) is a tranquil haven in the heart of the Black Sea region. The lake, with its mirror-like reflections and traditional wooden houses, offers one of the most picturesque landscapes in Türkiye. Here, visitors can walk along the lakeside, enjoy a local meal such as kuymak (cornmeal with cheese and butter), or simply sit by the water and watch clouds drift over the mountain peaks.
Beyond the lake, small villages and high plateaus offer a glimpse into authentic Black Sea life — filled with wooden cottages, vibrant culture, and warm local hospitality.
