Trabzon City Tour – History, Local Markets & Black Sea Views

Explore Trabzon's historic center and some of the city's best-known landmarks on a full-day tour covering its Byzantine, Ottoman and modern heritage.

Trabzon has been an important settlement on the Black Sea for centuries. Its location made it a meeting point for different cultures and an important stop on historic trade routes between Anatolia, the Caucasus and the Black Sea.

The tour begins at Atatürk Mansion, a historic house set in a quiet garden above the city. You can walk through the preserved rooms and learn about the building's connection with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

We then continue to Trabzon Botanical Garden before visiting the Trabzon City Museum, where you can learn more about the city's history, local traditions and commercial life.

The tour also includes a walk through some of Trabzon's traditional shopping areas. Kunduracılar Street, Semerciler Market, Kemeraltı and the traditional coppersmith area offer a look at local shops and crafts that are still part of everyday life in the city.

One of the main historical stops is Hagia Sophia Mosque, a former Byzantine church dating from the 13th century. The building is known for its surviving frescoes and architectural details and remains one of Trabzon's important historical monuments.

The day ends at Boztepe Hill, where you can take in views across Trabzon and the Black Sea before returning to the city.
