About This Activity

This exciting tour will take you through some of Trabzon's most celebrated attractions, starting with the Atatürk Mansion, an exquisite example of early 20th-century Turkish architecture. Built in the early 1900s, this mansion was once a summer residence for Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. As you walk through the beautiful gardens and into the mansion, you’ll get a chance to explore the opulent rooms and learn about Atatürk’s time in Trabzon. The mansion, perched on a hill with panoramic views of the city, offers a glimpse into both Turkish history and the region’s stunning natural surroundings.

The next stop on your journey is the Ayasofya Mosque, an architectural gem that holds historical significance. Originally a Byzantine church, it was later converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest. Today, visitors can admire its grand frescoes, intricate tilework, and peaceful atmosphere. The building's fascinating blend of Byzantine and Ottoman influences tells the story of Trabzon's long and diverse past. The mosque is a peaceful place for reflection and an important part of the city’s heritage, making it a must-visit stop on this tour.

For a complete panoramic view of Trabzon and the surrounding landscape, the tour takes you to Boztepe Hill. Located just outside the city center, Boztepe offers sweeping views of Trabzon’s coastline, the Black Sea, and the lush green hills that surround the city. Here, visitors can enjoy a relaxing tea break while taking in the mesmerizing views. It’s the perfect place to relax and soak in the natural beauty of the region while snapping some photos of the stunning vistas.

As a solo traveller, I appreciated how seamless and well‑paced this tour was. Strolling through Atatürk Mansion’s lush gardens felt like a breath of fresh air, and the mansion’s elegant rooms offer a real glimpse into the past. Ayasofya Mosque’s peaceful interior invited quiet reflection, and I found myself pausing to admire every fresco. Ending at Boztepe Hill with a cup of local tea while watching the sun slip behind the hills was the perfect, serene touch.

Three of us booked this tour on a whim and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The Atatürk Mansion’s hilltop gardens were enchanting—perfect for photos—and slipping through the grand rooms felt like discovering hidden history. Ayasofya Mosque surprised us with its serene frescoes and the way Byzantine carvings blend into Ottoman arches. Finally, sipping apple tea on Boztepe Hill as the Black Sea sparkled below was pure magic. Our guide’s friendly stories made every stop feel personal and authentic.

Our family of four had a mostly delightful day. The mansion’s panoramic views over Trabzon were unforgettable, and our kids were fascinated by Atatürk’s summer quarters. Ayasofya Mosque’s intricate tilework was beautiful, though we barely had time to linger inside before moving on. Boztepe Hill was the perfect finale—relaxing tea and sweeping sea vistas—but a little more time there would have made it five stars for us.
