Dear guests, we welcome you at our meeting point and begin our Sümela Package Tour, one of the most impressive and historic tours in Northern Turkey.

After arriving in the district of Maçka, we first purchase our tickets and set out to explore our first stop, the Sümela Monastery, up close. Sümela Monastery is one of the symbols of the Black Sea Region, located on high cliffs surrounded by mountains and in the middle of valleys. Built during the Byzantine Empire in the 400s AD, this magnificent structure is of great importance both religiously and architecturally. During our visit, we will discover the frescoes inside the monastery, the historical wall paintings, and the magnificent view.

We will also witness how impressively nature has shaped the cliffs around which the monastery was built.

After the magic of Sumela Monastery, we set out on another discovery in nature. We will find peace in the tranquility of nature in Hamsiköy and have the opportunity to taste Hamsiköy Sütlaç, one of the village's famous traditional delicacies.

Our next stop is the enchanting Karaca Cave. The stalactites, stalagmites, and colorful stones inside show just how special the cave is. In addition, the air in Karaca Cave has become known as a place that is good for asthma patients due to its microclimate. This feature makes the cave a special place to visit not only from an aesthetic point of view but also from a health perspective. We will explore this natural wonder by embarking on a journey into the depths of the cave.

The last stop of the day is the Torul Glass Terrace. Located within the borders of Trabzon province, this glass terrace offers a magnificent view at a height of 300 meters. As you walk on the glass floor, you will see the natural wonders beneath your feet with your own eyes. This unique experience will allow you to take unforgettable steps into the heights without fear. Torul Glass Terrace is a wonderful spot where the region's nature and modern architecture come together, making it a perfect place to take photos and collect memories.

After our final stop, we return to Trabzon with you. And we bid you farewell with beautiful memories.
