Day one
City, history and coast
Begin with a local breakfast
Ease into the day in the centre with kuymak, fresh bread, butter and tea.
Walk the traces of Ortahisar
Discover the historic core, the area around the walls and layers of city memory within short distances.
Hagia Sophia and the coast
After studying the stonework, spend time along the shoreline opening toward the Black Sea.
From Meydan to Boztepe
Watch the city centre’s daily rhythm; if weather allows, close the afternoon from above.
A Trabzon table
End the first day with Akçaabat meatballs, pide or seasonal anchovy at a local table.
