Hotels in Trabzon

Where to Stay in Trabzon

• Trabzon centre and Meydan: the bazaar, restaurants and transport links; for short city breaks and business trips.
• The seafront and Boztepe: hotels with sea or city views, and a panoramic view of Trabzon from Boztepe hill.
• Uzungöl and the highlands: wooden hotels and bungalows by the lake for a quiet stay in nature.

Types of Hotel

Besides city hotels, aparthotels are very common in Trabzon, and apartments with kitchens are practical for large families and longer stays. At Uzungöl and in the highlands, wooden bungalows, mountain houses and small hotels stand out. Demand is high in summer, so book lake-view rooms early.

When to Go

The best time for the highlands and Uzungöl is May to September, when the air is cool and the landscape at its greenest. Rain is possible in any season on the Black Sea, so pack a waterproof. In winter, the anchovy season and snowy highlands offer a different experience.

Getting There

Trabzon Airport is close to the city centre, and Rize-Artvin Airport is an option for routes further east. For a private transfer to your hotel, see Trabzon Airport to Trabzon transfer and Rize-Artvin Airport to Trabzon transfer. For Uzungöl and the highlands, hiring a car or joining a day tour is the most practical option.

Things to Do in Trabzon

Sümela Monastery in Maçka, Uzungöl, the Hagia Sophia Mosque of Trabzon (known for its Byzantine frescoes), the Atatürk Pavilion and Boztepe are the main sights. Be sure to try Black Sea dishes such as anchovies, kuymak and Akçaabat meatballs.

Who Is It For?

Trabzon suits nature lovers looking for green highlands, lakes and cool summer air, food lovers keen on Black Sea cuisine and travellers with large families, for whom aparthotels with kitchens are a practical choice. A few nights in the city followed by a stay at Uzungöl is the best way to see both sides of Trabzon.

Practical Tips

• Uzungöl is very busy on summer weekends; weekdays are more relaxed.
• Highland roads are narrow and winding, so choose a transfer or tour if you are not an experienced driver.
• To see more of the eastern Black Sea, add Rize and the Ayder plateau to your route.
