Restaurants in Trabzon Province
1. Trabzon Ataturk Kosku

Reviewed By Atamurad_Guchgeldi - Ashgabat, Turkmenistan
The place, a gift to Ataturk from people of Trabzon and they back from Ataturk to Turkish people, is the house of Greek, left the country in 1920s. It represents interesting architectural style and has a interesting furniture and other things inside to learn the living in the beginning of the XX th century. Garden has many great flowers and very peaceful tea cafe. Outside the Kosku, across the street you can buy Turkish famous silver products and other souvenirs, although I preferred to do it in small shops of the city center of Trabzon. If you are in town, it is one of the must-see attraction to feel the spirit of Ataturk legacy.

It has the most beautiful view...I mean it.You can see the whole city from there.Also great sunset view.Besides if you want to buy souvenirs,I strongly recommend here.It has so many kind of souvenirs and they're cheap.

We went from Trabzon with the minibus (starts opposite bazar on the sea-side, where all minibuses are, 2-3 lira) to akçaabat (is written on the bus) and changed there to a minibus to Düzköy (about 4 lira). From there we walked for around 2 hours. The direction is written on the street or you can catch a free hiking map at Trabzon tourist office (very helpful)
5. Trabzon Hagia Sophia Museum

The only good thing about this place is the small restaurant at its entrance. Really tasty food (specially the Kaimak and the omelet dishes) and low price. Worth visiting if you are already in Trabzon.
Note: this is not Boztepe (some people here reviewed it as Boztepe), but it is also built on elevated area where you can see the Black Sea from up. Also note that parking is difficult these during summer.
6. Uzungol

Reviewed By Omar O - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
We've visited Uzungol five years ago and it used to be simple, quiet and peaceful lake village.
We've visited it again in August 2017. The place is completely changed, it was big disappointment for all of us. Very crowded everywhere, many buildings established which ruin the nature views I guess.

8. Trabzon Museum

Reviewed By Clément L
The mansion housing the museum in a splendid place and deserves the visit in its own right.
The ethnographic part is plain weird (outdated coffin shaped showcases with very little info on the artifacts - half of which have limited ethnographic value - let alone without explanations).
The archeological part (located in the basement, you kinda feel you're going in a restaurant kitchen when going down there) is much better. Lovely collection. Lacks some item specific explanations, but there are some interesting overall documentation on the walls.
There are leaflets at the entrance of the building. Do take them and read them as you visit. It helps!
