TOP things to do in Trabzon
Trabzon is a city with a rich historical past, which goes back to ancient times. It is an ideal destination for those who are looking for adventures, are interested in culture and want to spend time actively surrounded by mountain ranges.
Beach tourism is not developed in Trabzon. It will be almost impossible to find equipped beaches, although the city is located on the Black Sea coast.
To get acquainted with the main sights of Trabzon, 2-3 days will be enough. You can come for a weekend from Georgia or from other cities of Turkey (by bus or by plane).
We recommend renting a car in Trabzon for a few days to visit all the tourist locations at your own pace. They are located outside the city and in different directions.

İskele meyhanesi
Restaurant
Turkish restaurant overlooking the bay
A pleasant place to enjoy the Black Sea view. The window overlooks Trabzon Airport, so you'll probably be able to watch planes take off and land.
Ekleristan
Restaurant
A Turkish chain confectionery shop that sells the most delicious eclairs.
The largest eclair chain in Turkey. You can always try many different flavors here. Everything is fresh and sweet. We were unlucky with tea, it was not sold.
Trabzon is a very pleasant tourist destination that can easily be combined with the Georgian city of Batumi. Highly recommended.
