11 days in Trabzon Itinerary

Trabzon, historically known as Trebizond is a city on the Black Sea coast of northeastern Turkey and the capital of Trabzon Province. Venture out of the city with trips to Karaca Cave (in Torul), Rize (Hemsin Organik Vadisi, Rize Museum, & more) and Gumushane (Karaca Cave & Artabel Golleri Tabiat Parki). There's lots more to do: examine the collection at Trabzon Hagia Sophia Museum, steep yourself in history at Atatürk Köşkü, take some stellar pictures from Boztepe, and explore the fascinating underground world of Çal Mağarası.
