      Meydan Park, Uzun and Maras Streets, Boztepe, Girls' Monastery, Trabzon Hagia Sophia, Ataturk Mansion are destinations to cover in city center. Our Trabzon Hotel is Ustapark Hotel or TS Park Hotel by Meydan Park. We can arrange an extra night for you if you will need it.

      Any advice about how to pack/dress for the weather?

      Walking shoes are not mandatory but suggested. Trainee or sport shoes are also fine. We don't have difficult hiking route in this tour. In addition, you may need a raincoat incase it rains. I would suggest an all season rain coat for all purposes.

      Traveler•Written April 2022

      Are all tour dates guaranteed departure dates? If I were to extend an extra day following the tour, what would you recommend seeing/doing?

    • Sunnova TravelOperator•Written April 2022

      All departure dates are not guaranteed departures. There are several dates which are guaranteeed. May 16 is also guaranteed departure. I would suggest Pokut-Sal highland exerience if you are willing to stay one more day. Or, there are different highlands in Camlihemsin areas, such as Gito, Badara, Huser, Elevit, Cicekli etc. You may also consider to cover one of those areas.

      Andy

      Traveler•Written April 2022

      Would it be possible to do the Trabzon city tour on the 20th? I've having difficulty finding flights arriving early on the 16th.

      Andy

      Traveler•Written April 2022

      I'm also interested in seeing Karaca Cave.

    • Sunnova TravelOperator•Written April 2022

      On 20 May, we have different program with the group on our way from Rize to Trabzon. We may provide an afternoon city tour of Trabzon for you but we are unable to cover Karaca cave since it's far from the city center. You may also consider a private tour another day to cover Karaca Cave, Hamsikoy, Torul etc.
