Boztepe
The best panorama over Trabzon — cafés, a glass terrace and a long promenade.
Boztepe is the highest point from which the whole of Trabzon can be seen — city, harbour and coastline in one view. The hill has cafés, a glass viewing terrace and a long promenade for photographs.
It is five minutes from Meydan and is home to the Radisson Blu Trabzon, opposite the well-known wooden viewpoint. Sunset tea at Boztepe is one of the simplest and most popular evening add-ons.
- →Sunset is the best time; weekend evenings are busy with locals.
- →Combine with the Theoskepastos Monastery on the way up.
