Trabzon holiday Packages
Holiday packages to Trabzon with Qatar Airways Holidays takes you to a region of Turkey that has remained largely unspoiled by over-development and retains much more of its original character. Its dramatic mountain beauty and the countless villages and towns nearby that seem to tumble down the sides of the cliffs gives it an almost Eastern European feel rather than a Mediterranean atmosphere, making it a unique destination in this sunny, friendly country.
Let us take care of all the details for you, including flights, accommodation and transfers, while you focus on discovering everything that Trabzon has to offer the inquisitive explorer. For culinary travellers, the city doesn’t disappoint, with high-quality restaurants serving both classical Turkish dishes and some local specialities too, such as Vakfikebir ekmegi, a local bread, and Hamsi (anchovies) which form a major part of the cuisine of the region. Hazelnuts are one of the biggest crops grown in the region, and you’ll find them used in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Trabzon holiday experiences
- If you want to feel like a local, then head to the Åženol GüneÅŸ Stadium and catch a football match. Trabzonspor is one of the country’s most successful teams, and games are followed almost religiously by the locals.
- Trabzon may not be famous for its beaches, but head out of the city and you’ll soon find plenty of beaches to both the east and the west. Bear in mind that the Black Sea is cold during much of the year, but the beaches are clean and generally crowd-free even during the summer.
- Catch one of the many festivals throughout the year, including the Kadirga Festival in June, which is the largest folk festival in the country. The Sultan Murat Festival at the end of August is another regionally-important folk festival, while Calendar Night or Kalandar Gecesi on the 13th January is an ancient celebration going back to pre-Christian times.
- The surrounding countryside is stunning, with plenty of hiking and walking trails through the mountainous regions of Giresun and Rize provinces. It’s wise to get a local guide, as these are remote areas and almost untouched by tourism, but the views are definitely worth the trek.
