Trabzon's Unmissable Highlights

Trabzon’s historical landscape spans from the Byzantine era to the Ottoman Empire. This collection features the Hagia Sophia, a 13th-century church-turned-mosque, and the Panagia Theoskepastos Monastery. Ottoman architecture is represented by the 16th-century Gülbahar Hatun complex and the 20th-century Kostaki Mansion, now the Trabzon Museum. Natural landmarks include the Boztepe viewpoint, offering panoramas of the Black Sea, while the Atatürk Pavilion highlights the city's early Republican history through its preserved 19th-century European-style villa and gardens.
