OVERVIEW

Trabzon is a large city on Turkey’s north eastern coast, with port facilities, residential districts and commercial streets climbing steep hills. Trade and regional migration have long shaped its identity. The relationship between black sea hills, lively markets and byzantine heritage in a large coastal city backed by green mountains and city gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Food, museums and waterfront views provide urban interest, while monasteries and mountain roads add major excursions. Rain is frequent and keeps the surrounding landscape intensely green. Spending time with both black sea hills and lively markets and byzantine heritage in a large coastal city backed by green mountains reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
