Trabzon and the Black Sea northeast
Trabzon was the empire's gateway to the Caucasus — today it is lush tea country, misty mountains and the cliff-hanging Sumela Monastery. Private tours reach Sumela early before crowds, continue to Ataturk Pavilion and Boztepe viewpoints, and pair with Uzungol's alpine lake for a full highland day.
Sumela Monastery visits
The 4th-century monastery clings to a sheer cliff in Altindere Valley — allow half a day with forest walking paths. Weather can close upper sections; we monitor conditions and adjust with Uzungol or city touring. Comfortable shoes and a light rain layer are essential year-round.
Uzungol and highland culture
Uzungol lake sits in pine forests south of Trabzon — trout restaurants, village walks and tea plantations reward an overnight or long day trip. Black Sea cuisine differs from Istanbul: anchovy dishes, kuymak cornmeal and local honey feature on lunch stops our guides arrange.
Combining Trabzon with Istanbul
Most international visitors fly Istanbul first, then a domestic flight to Trabzon. Our Black Sea package coordinates both cities with hotels and guides. Repeat Turkey travelers add Trabzon after the classic west — allow 5–6 days minimum.
