Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Trabzon

63 stays · 62 aparthotels and 1 serviced apartments

Trabzon is the main gateway to Turkey's eastern Black Sea coast, with flights from across Turkey as well as from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. Many visitors arrive as families or groups and spend several days exploring the green highlands, Uzungöl and Sümela Monastery, which is why aparthotels and serviced apartments in Trabzon are a popular choice: separate bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room make a multi-day base far more comfortable than adjoining hotel rooms.

Where to stay in Trabzon

Meydan and Uzun Sokak

  • first-time visitors
  • shopping
  • transport links

Meydan, the central square officially called Atatürk Alanı, is lined with cafés and is where taxis and dolmuş minibuses gather. Uzun Sokak, a long pedestrian shopping street, runs west from it towards the bazaar quarter. Staying here puts restaurants, shops and transport within a few minutes' walk.

Ortahisar and the bazaar

  • history
  • culture
  • couples

The historic walled city sits on a ridge between two valleys just west of the centre, and the bazaar quarter around it has old caravanserais and craft shops selling copperware and jewellery. It is the most atmospheric part of town for walking. The centre is a short stroll away.

Boztepe

  • views
  • quiet stays
  • families

Boztepe is the hill above the city, its eastern half a wooded park, with tea gardens and panoramic views over Trabzon and the Black Sea. Staying on its slopes means calmer evenings, though roads up are steep and you will rely on dolmuş, taxis or a car to get down to the centre.

Hagia Sophia and the western shore

  • sightseeing
  • sea views
  • families

About 3 km west of the centre near the sea, the Byzantine Hagia Sophia of Trabzon is one of the city's key monuments, now a mosque. Dolmuş marked Aya Sofya run here from the centre along the coastal road. The area is more residential and a good base if you are heading west along the coast.

Akçaabat

  • food lovers
  • local life
  • long stays

Akçaabat is a coastal town and district immediately west of Trabzon, known for its Akçaabat köfte meatballs and the horon folk dance, and it has hosted an international folklore festival since 1990. It has its own town centre and seafront. Dolmuş along the coast road connect it with central Trabzon.

Getting around Trabzon

Trabzon Airport lies on the coast east of the city centre, with hourly flights from Istanbul and at least daily ones from Ankara, Izmir and Adana. A Havaş shuttle bus runs downtown, or you can walk out to the coastal highway and pick up a westbound dolmuş.

Inside the city, dolmuş minibuses are the main form of public transport, running fixed routes and stopping on request; city routes mostly start from Meydan itself, and the dolmuş garage for out-of-town services is about 200 m south-east of the square. Central Trabzon is walkable, but the hills are steep.

For day trips, Sümela Monastery is about 50 km south and Uzungöl around 95 km away via the D915 towards Çaykara. Tours, minibuses and hire cars all serve these routes; at Sümela a shuttle takes visitors from the car park up to the site.

Living in Trabzon for longer

Uzun Sokak and the bazaar quarter cover everyday shopping, and the large Forum Trabzon mall, open daily, adds supermarkets and international chains. Local food is a highlight: try hamsi (Black Sea anchovies), Trabzon pide and the regional breakfast dish kuymak.

Rain is frequent, so pack layers and waterproofs. If you are staying for a while, base yourself near Meydan for the widest choice of dolmuş routes, and plan highland trips for clear days. Our Uzungöl page covers stays by the lake if you want a night or two in the mountains.

When to visit Trabzon

Trabzon has a humid subtropical climate. Summers are warm and humid with frequent light showers, winters are cool and close to freezing at times, and autumn is the wettest season. Summer is generally the best time to visit, especially for the highland plateaus, which sit at 2,000 metres and above.

Summer nights in the city can feel sticky, so many visitors split their stay between the coast and the cooler highlands. Tours and accommodation near Uzungöl and the plateaus fill up in the warmer months, so plan those nights early.

The city itself is compact, built along the coast and up the ridges behind it, with its life centred on Meydan square and the pedestrian Uzun Sokak. Shared minibuses called dolmuş connect almost everything. New to the format? Read what is an aparthotel.
