Trabzon, with its green nature and history, is the centre of Black Sea tourism. The highlands and lakes around the city attract nature lovers.
The Sumela Monastery
Carved into the cliffs, the Sumela Monastery is the region’s most famous structure. Even the forest-lined road to it is an experience in itself.
Uzungöl and the highlands
Uzungöl is famous for its lake framed by mountains. The Ayder, Pokut and Sis Dağı highlands offer a cool escape, especially in summer.
The city centre
Trabzon Hagia Sophia, the view from Boztepe and the Atatürk Pavilion are highlights of a city tour.
In the Black Sea, highlands and lakes are linked by winding mountain roads, making the region one of the best suited to exploring by rental car. Thanks to visitors from the Gulf states, rent a car demand in Trabzon rises markedly in summer.
