Trabzon, Port city in Eastern Black Sea region, Turkey.

Located between mountains and sea, Trabzon extends along the coast with ancient walls, stone buildings, and modern districts near the harbor.

Founded in 756 BC by Greek traders, Trabzon remained a significant center of trade throughout Byzantine and Ottoman periods until 1461.

The Hagia Sophia in Trabzon combines Christian architectural elements with Islamic decorations, reflecting centuries of religious changes in the region.

Trabzon International Airport connects the city with major Turkish destinations, while the port handles cargo ships from Black Sea countries.

The city maintains multiple stone bridges crossing the Zagnos Valley, linking different sections of the ancient settlement through green parkland.
