Go Back in Time
The church of Hagia Sophia in Trabzon, Turkey.
Go Back in Time
The Hagia Sophia in Trabzon has cycled through many identities since its construction in the 13th century — a church, a mosque, a museum and, since 2013, a mosque again. Look up when you visit: The frescoes on the ceiling, restored in 2020, are among the most pristine examples of Byzantine-era art remaining in modern Turkey.

Enjoy Trabzon's Many Views
Trabzon is one of Turkey's hilliest cities, so a postcard-perfect panorama is never far away. Make the trek (or, preferably, get a cab) up to Trabzon Castle and look down on the Black Sea from atop its Roman-era walls. Or instead head farther east to the House of Atatürk, the ornately decorated home of the "father of modern Turkey."
Escape to Rize or Uzungöl
It would be a pity to cruise to Trazbon and not take in the beauty just outside the city. Travel 90 minutes by taxi to Uzungöl, a high-altitude village where Turkish mosques reflect in the long lake of the same name. Or head an hour along the coast to Rize, one of Turkey's top tea-producing areas.
LOCAL CUISINE
Satisfy your hunger with hamsili pide, a local take on boat-shaped Turkish flatbread filled with fresh-caught anchovies. Anchovies (hamsili) are also the key ingredient in Trabzon's take on kofte; the meatballs are made with beef or lamb elsewhere. Seek out casual eateries with lots of locals — look for outdoors tables and airy, open interiors.
SHOPPING
Visit the covered Bedesten market, Trabzon's answer to Istanbul's famous Grand Bazaar, for all your shopping needs. Stock up on fragrant spices, choose a colorful lamp for your home or pick up postcards, buy colorful fabrics and other trinkets for friends and family. Or browse some of the highest quality leather goods in all of Turkey.
