Itinerary

  • Altindere Vadisi National Park (Pass By)

    Our first stop will be the Sumela Monastery, which is located within the Altindere National Park, and it will take approximately an enjoyable one-hour journey to reach there. We will reach the monastery by walking along the 300-meter-long forest path, which can be reached by shared taxis within the National Park. Before arriving at the monastery, you can visit St. Barbara Chapel, where you can see the magnificent view of the Sumela Monastery.

  • Sumela Monastery

    When we arrive at the Sumela Monastery, you will be greeted by the historic aqueducts, stone stairs, and social area created for visitors. Before entering the monastery, you can enjoy a few minutes of the surrounding nature and scenery. As soon as you pass the entrance gate, which is reached by stone stairs, the monastery complex will be in front of your eyes with all its beauty. At the end of your visit to the monastery, which includes the main rock church, chapels, student rooms, library, guesthouse, holy spring, and many more sections, we will meet with the group leader and return by the same path.

    1 hour 30 minutes

  • Zigana

    On our return journey, we will first reach our tour vehicle through the forest path and then the national park service, and continue our journey to visit the Zigana Pass. Zigana, one of the most important passes of the historic Silk Road, is a place where many famous travelers, including Marco Polo, have traveled. After seeing the pass at an altitude of 2050 meters above sea level, we will move to Hamsikoy.

    1 hour

  • Hamsikoy

    We will take a lunch break in Hamsikoy, which is famous for its natural beauty and rice pudding. After visiting Sumela, Zigana, and Hamsikoy, our tour will end in Trabzon, and we will depart, hoping to see you again on our next tour.

Published on Oct, 2024

I recently took a tour of Sumela Monastery with my friend Daisy, and it was truly a memorable experience! From the start, our driver Hussain made us feel welcome with his friendly personality, while our guide Şamel (I hope I have spelt this correctly) kept us entertained with fun stories and historical insights that brought the journey to life. Not only did we learn so much about the history of the stunning Sumela Monastery, but Şamel also filled us in on the rich culture of the beautiful Hamsiköy village, making us appreciate the area even more. The scenic drive through Zigana was another highlight – the breathtaking views were unforgettable, and it was fun dancing to the Arabic music to stay warm on top of the mountain! If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate – it’s a such a great experience!

Highly recommended!
