Starting from Trabzon Airport, your city-center hotel, or a location of your choice, this special program is not just a simple sightseeing tour; it is a true Trabzon daily tour journey, woven with legends, nature, and history. From the very first moments, the green mountains, blue sea, and dramatic landscapes of the Black Sea region surround you.
Your route first leads to Altindere National Park, where you can witness nature in all its shades of green. Rising dramatically on steep cliffs at about 1,300 meters above sea level, Sumela Monastery appears through the mist like a scene from a fairy tale. Reaching the site via park shuttles and a forest path, you explore the Rock Church carved into the mountain, biblical frescoes, the holy spring, monks’ rooms, and ancient aqueducts. As you walk through these sacred spaces, your guide shares the legendary stories behind the monastery. This is why this place stands at the heart of every Sumela Monastery tour.
After this historical visit, you meet nature again at Sera Lake Nature Park. A peaceful walk by the lake clears your mind before you enjoy free time for lunch. With your guide’s suggestions, you can choose a restaurant that best fits your taste and discover local flavors.
After lunch, you return to the city center to visit Trabzon Hagia Sophia Mosque, famous for its Byzantine frescoes. The building carries both Byzantine and Ottoman traces, making it one of the rare monuments where two eras meet. Then you head to Ataturk Mansion, surrounded by pine forests and known for its elegant architecture. Its original furniture and views reflect Trabzon’s recent history, while the nearby handicraft center offers silver and local souvenirs.
From this point, your tour can be shaped according to your interests:
You may choose to walk among hundreds of plant species in Trabzon Botanical Park, the only botanical garden in the Black Sea region.
Or you may visit Trabzon Tunnel Aquarium, the world’s first aquarium built inside a tunnel, and experience marine life up close.
Your historical exploration continues with Trabzon Castle walls, Gulbahar Hatun Mosque, and Zagnos Valley. Walking through the neighborhood where Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent is believed to have been born, you then visit Fatih Mosque, once the city’s cathedral and now one of the most symbolic places among places to visit in Trabzon.
Just before the finale, you stop at a very special highlight: Trabzon Museum (Kostaki Mansion). Known as one of the city’s most elegant buildings, this mansion impresses with its rich decorations, detailed ceilings, and magnificent halls. As one of the finest examples of Italian architecture in the region, it lets you deeply feel Trabzon’s cultural memory and turns your tour into a true Black Sea culture tour.
