Our tour departing from Trabzon at 10:00 starts with the participation of our guests on the route.
First, we reach the Sumela Monastery located in the Altındere National Park of the Maçka district and for an extra 70₺, we use the minibuses to go to the beginning of the path and then walk the path to reach the Sumela Monastery. We visit the monastery, also known as the hidden monastery beyond the clouds, whose construction began in the 4th century AD. There are magnificent frescoes and a very long history waiting for you inside the monastery. After visiting the Sumela Monastery, we walk the path again and reach the minibuses and then our vehicle.
Then, we start our visit to the tea factory, which is very important for the regional economy since tea production is only done in the Black Sea region in Turkey. Here, we get information about the adventure of tea leaves from gardens to cups and have the opportunity to try different types of tea.
Afterwards, we stop by a sales office where we can buy very sharp and strong knives.
When we reach Uzungöl, we give you about 2 hours of free time by the lake. During this time, you can walk around Uzungöl or visit the Dursun Ali İnan Museum. At the end of our free time, we start our return journey.
On the way back, we take a 10-minute photo break at the Historical Tiled Bridge, which was built in 1935. Depending on the season and traffic conditions, we will arrive in Trabzon between 18:00 and 19:00 in the evening.
