Sumela Monastery and Karaca Cave Daily Tour
We pick you up from your hotel at about 09:00am then depart for Sumela Monastery which is just outside Trabzon. The monastery was founded on the steep surface of the mount overlooking Altındere and there is a picturesque view of the green wooded landscape.
The Monastery is about 300m high from the bottom part of the valley and kept on the tradition of the Greek Orthodox monasteries which were established outside the urban center, in the forests, inside the caves and on river banks.
After visiting the Monastery then we will drive to Karaca Cave which is our next destination today.
You can find many wonders of nature inside such as stalactites and stalagmites, columns, walls having some figures, travertines and cave plants.
After visiting the cave, we will have a lunch at a local restaurant then depart for Hamsikoy which will be our last sight-seeing point.
We definitely suggest you to taste delicious rice pudding and dry beans which are specific to this village.
We will transfer you to your hotel in Trabzon.
