About Trabzon
Trabzon, on Turkey's lush Black Sea coast, is the gateway to the Byzantine-era Sumela Monastery, dramatically built into a sheer cliff face above a forested valley. Tea plantations carpet the surrounding green hills, and the city's bazaars and Byzantine churches reflect its long history as a trading port between Anatolia, the Caucasus and beyond.
