From Trabzon
Join our expertly guided day tour for a memorable daily excursion that captures the spirit of the Black Sea region. This Trabzon day trip blends history, culture, and natural beauty, offering a perfect snapshot of the city’s rich heritage and its surrounding landscapes.
Sera Lake, a tranquil freshwater body nestled just outside the bustling city, offers a refreshing escape where visitors can enjoy gentle walks along its verdant banks. A short drive later, the Ataturk Pavilion—originally a summer residence for Turkey’s founding father—now serves as a modest museum preserving personal artifacts and the architectural style of the early Republic. Entrance to the pavilion is not included in the tour price.
The 13th‑century Hagia Sophia stands as a testament to Trabzon’s Byzantine past, featuring intricate frescoes that have survived centuries of change. Today it functions as a mosque, allowing travelers to admire both its sacred atmosphere and its layered history. Afterward, the journey continues to Boztepe, a hilltop viewpoint that rewards guests with sweeping panoramas of the Black Sea coastline. A leisurely tea break here lets you soak in the scenery while savoring local tea culture—food and drinks are not part of the package.
Back in the heart of the city, Meydan Park provides a vibrant green space where locals gather, reflecting Trabzon’s lively community spirit. A short stroll leads to the Botanic Park, a curated oasis showcasing the region’s diverse flora. Together, these parks illustrate the city’s commitment to preserving natural beauty amid urban life, making the tour a well‑rounded exploration of history, culture, and nature.

Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
