Hotels in Trabzon Coast, Turkey
Trabzon Coast lies on Turkey's Black Sea shore, with a mild, rainy climate that keeps the mountains lush year-round-summers around 80°F (27°C) are great for hiking to the 4th-century Sumela Monastery carved into a cliff, while winters near 50°F (10°C) let you explore the tea plantations in the hills. This region is famous for its green tea and Byzantine history, so you can visit the 13th-century Hagia Sophia of Trabzon or join a jeep safari through the Zigana Mountains. For a swim, head to the public beach at Uzungöl, a lake surrounded by peaks, or in winter, ski the nearby Karadağ slopes.
