Full description

This private tour from Trabzon is carefully designed to help you discover the breathtaking nature and rich historical heritage of the Black Sea region in just one day. The tour begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel or Trabzon Airport in the morning. At the end of the day, you'll be dropped off either at your hotel or at the airport, depending on your preference.

Our first stop is the iconic Sumela Monastery, one of the most impressive landmarks in the Black Sea. After about an hour’s scenic drive, we arrive at Altındere National Park. From there, a short minibus ride takes us to the start of a 350-meter walking path that leads to the monastery, famous for its stone stairs and historic aqueducts. Accompanied by your tour leader, you will explore chapels, monk cells, and the Main Rock Church, witnessing the traces of history in this mystical atmosphere.

Following this unforgettable cultural experience, we head towards another natural wonder of the Black Sea: Uzungol Lake. The journey is enriched by panoramic views of lush mountains and valleys. Our first stop is the popular Viewing Terrace, where you can enjoy a spectacular view of the lake and learn more about the region from your guide. Then we visit the Artificial Waterfalls, where you’ll feel the peacefulness of nature and have the chance to walk around the lake and take memorable photos.

You are free to choose when and where to have lunch during the tour. Your guide’s suggestions and your preferences will help shape the experience.

You can also relax at one of the cafés by the lake or try some of the optional activities in Uzungol. At the end of the day, your return transfer will be scheduled according to your flight from Trabzon Airport or a drop-off at your city center hotel. As we wrap up this unforgettable day in the Black Sea, we look forward to welcoming you again soon!
