📍 Destination Overview
Trabzon sits on the Black Sea coast of north-eastern Turkey with over two millennia of history, once capital of the Empire of Trebizond and a key Silk Road junction between east and west. Its most famous site, the Sumela Monastery, founded in 386, is anchored on a steep cliff hollow and adorned with fine 18th-century frescoes. The city is marked by Black Sea culture and anchovies.
