About Trabzon: Nature and History Tour

This special three-day route, extending from the fierce waves of the Black Sea to its lush mountains and blending the region's incredible historical heritage with breathtaking nature, promises a flawless travel opportunity for families. Get ready to discover both the mystical corners and the peaceful natural recreation areas of fascinating Trabzon, which hosts every shade of green and blue. This enjoyable journey, where the rich cultural texture is felt at every stop, will allow you to experience the magnificent diversity of the Black Sea geography to the fullest.

The first day of your adventure begins with a peaceful journey through the Altındere Vadisi national park, where green literally gushes out. When you reach the legendary Sümela Manastırı, built with incredible mastery on steep cliffs, you will be caught in that deep mystical atmosphere and feel that time has frozen. Immediately after slipping away from the spiritual air of the monastery, the elegantly built Küçük Ayvasıl (St. Anna) Kilisesi, one of the ancient Byzantine legacies of the region, welcomes you. You make the satisfying closing of the day in the shadow of the Kanuni Sultan Süleyman Heykeli, which allows you to witness the powerful periods of Ottoman history.

You begin your second day with a peaceful morning walk by the Sera Gölü, which impresses with its calm nature. Then, you wander the corridors of the Trabzon Müzesi, opening a window to the rich past of the city, and carefully examine the historical F-104G (8-284) fighter jet monument that salutes recent aviation history. In the afternoon, you shake off tiredness on the sands of the comfortable Yalıncak Aile Plajı to embrace the cool waters of the Black Sea. Your final day begins wonderfully with the Uzungöl Seyir Terası, presenting the panoramic view of the valley from the very top. After taking photos on the shores of the famous Uzungöl, you peacefully conclude your epic adventure in the Sürmene Çamburnu nature park, deeply inhaling the pristine forest air.
