Malaysian traveller is mesmerised by Turkiye's lesser-known city: Trabzon

The Sumela Monastery sits on a steep cliff.

There are some holiday destinations that are so endearing to us that we would love to visit again. Trabzon in Turkiye is that place for me.

Located on the coast of the Black Sea, northeast of Turkiye, Trabzon is more than 1,000km away from Istanbul, making it a “little” out of the way for tourists. I was fortunate to discover this gem of a place during a recent trip.
