Ayasofya seafront & harbour
Seafront promenade below Hagia Sophia, departure point for Black Sea boat trips.
The Ayasofya seafront is a landscaped promenade along the western shore of Trabzon, with walking paths, cafés and open sea views. It is the natural end point of the city tour and the Sera Lake day.
Short sightseeing boats leave from the Trabzon shoreline in good weather, giving guests the city skyline and the mountains from the water.
