Hotels near Trabzon Airport - TZX, Trabzon

Our goal during this trip was to visit the Aquarium (it was good!) and walk the streets of Meidan. We've also visited BozTepe and the ancient ruins of a Greek monastery. Interesting city with great highways and small ancient streets with slopes and heights. The last thing was to shop a bit and it is good at Forum. They have huge parking and lots of shops.

There are many day trips in Trabzon. Some for historical places which I don't recommend as it could be same as anywhere else, but to go for Landscape & Nature which are the competitive advantage in Trabzon. In fact, most of sightseeing are not in Trabzon city itself but in adjacent cities like Rize. However Trabzon considered as central point to stay in then go around. Before my arrival, I was looking for specific tours, but I have made changes when I found better sightseen than what is commercially announced on social media. On the top of course: Uzungol. It's out of discussion :) - 2nd: Hidernebi. It's not well known but incredibly amazing. You will almost be over the sky or to be honest, to reach a top view where you will be inside the cloud while part still above and other part lower than you. Those are the most attraction I loved them. There are others like Ayder but it was ok, not wow. The Top of the top but unfortunately I see it dangerous to go is "Huser " All videos show it's unbelievable where the top of the mountain is totally above the cloud. However all reviews I saw which is not much actually are talking about its dangerous road which bumpy, rocked, and not smoothed and so narrow going up / down the mountain by cars. My concern is this trip usually going up to see the sunset., so how come to get down in the dark ?!! So finally I choose to go Hidernebi instead which could give you closer experience and view but not risky. Most of people hang out by night around the city center square "Mydan" I see nothing there, however instead, the coast side is better by sunset to relax.

Trabzon is a mixture of old traditional and modern Turkish city, always giving a feeling of safety, comfort and good mood to the visitors. Helping hosts, polite people on the streets, vivid spirit and amazing food, goods offered, coffee and sweets, just amazing. Parks, visits to the top of the hill, museum of Ataturk, many places to visit. Highly recommendable.

Trabzon is second largest city and port on the black sea its famous for its stunning natural scenery and historical landmarks. There are many tourist places in trabzon and among the best places is Uzungol lake, trabzon square and sumela monastery

Trabzon is truly a hidden gem! This northern Turkish city along the Black Sea is rich in history, culture, and breathtaking natural beauty. From the majestic mountains and serene lakes to the stunning coastline, Trabzon offers something for everyone. Highlights include the iconic Uzungöl, the historic Hagia Sophia, and the awe-inspiring Sumela Monastery nestled in the cliffs. Food lovers will be delighted by the local grills and mouth-watering köfte, which perfectly capture the flavors of the region. Whether you’re exploring scenic landscapes, diving into centuries of history, or enjoying authentic Turkish cuisine, Trabzon is a destination that never disappoints.

The Sumela Monastery is a must see. But the bonus is the breathtaking views on the drive up to the Monastry. Nearby Rize and the tea farm is beautiful. But the peace de resistance has to be Ayder. Like the Swiss Alps with its unique Turkish culture. The views is not to be missed. The snow capped mountains with its mountain streams and the “Devil river” used for Riverafting. Lots of construction on the roads, building more tunnels. The construction of the houses, apartments along the mountain slopes, is Engineering perfection.
