We start Sumela Monastery, Zigana Pass and Hamsiköy Village Daily Private Tour from Trabzon and move first to Sumela located in Altındere National Park. After about an hour's journey, we arrive at Altındere National Park. To reach the monastery, we first use shuttle service in the national park. For the last 300 meters, we arrive at Sumela Monastery by using a path through the forest. If you wish, you can take a short break in the cafeteria right next to the monastery, or you can start visiting the Sumela Monastery immediately by using the tickets you buy from the national park toll booths.
After your visit to Sumela Monastery from the guard area, library, kitchen, guest and student area, holy spring and main rock church, we return to our tour vehicle with National Park services. We continue our tour by moving to the historical Zigana Pass. Get a local recipe for your meal at Zigana.
Traveling by many famous travelers such as Maco Polo, Zigana is one of the important five on the Historical Silk Road. After seeing the Zigana Pass at an altitude of 2050 meters above sea level, we are moving to Hamsiköy. After visiting Hamsiköy, famous for its natural beauty and rice pudding, our tour ends in Trabzon and we bid farewell to meet on another tour.
