The Property — 61 Park Otel
61 Park Otel sits a few blocks back from Trabzon’s waterfront, a functional 3-star with clean, compact rooms and a small lobby that smells of fresh tea and polish. The USP is its location: walkable to the central Meydan Park and the Atatürk Pavilion hill, and a short taxi ride from the airport. It’s a solid choice for the no-fuss traveller who wants a base to explore the city’s historic mosques, bazaars and the nearby Sumela Monastery, not a destination in itself.
Chronicles of Trabzon
Founded in the 8th century BC as Trapezus by Milesian Greek colonists, Trabzon grew wealthy on the Silk Road and later became the capital of the Byzantine Empire of Trebizond (1204–1461). Its Old Town still bears traces of that era: the Hagia Sophia church (now a mosque), the city walls and the grand Şirin Hatun Mosque. Ottoman rule from 1461 brought caravanserais and covered bazaars that survive today. Modern Trabzon is a thriving Black Sea port with a young, tea-mad population, where football fever for Trabzonspor trumps almost everything, and its coastal sprawl is climbing the green hills behind it.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trabzon guide →Best months
June and September offer warm days (22–26°C), low humidity, and clear skies for hiking in the Pontic Alps or exploring the city centre without the August tourist crush.
Peak / festival surge
August is the school-holiday peak, especially the first two weeks (Eid al-Adha often falls in late June/early July in 2026, adding domestic tourists). Hotel prices can jump 30–50% above shoulder rates. No major festival, but the Trabzon International Culture and Art Festival (late June) brings extra visitors.
Budget shoulder season
May and October are the quiet budget windows: May has blossom and mild rain, October brings crisp air and empty streets, with rates often 20–30% below August.
Weather & packing
Trabzon’s Black Sea climate means sudden rain even in July, often arriving as a short, heavy downpour. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and shoes that dry quickly; leave the umbrella behind—a hood is more practical in the wind.
Live City Briefing — Trabzon
- Trabzon Airport’s new terminal opened in 2024, improving baggage claim and customs flow; taxi ranks are now better organised, but ride-hailing apps (e.g., BiTaksi) remain cheaper for short hops.
- Summer 2026 sees the completion of the Şenol Güneş Sports Complex renovation—if a match coincides with your stay, expect city-centre road closures and packed buses on match days.
- The Hagia Sophia mosque (south of the city) is open to visitors outside prayer times; note that shoe removal and head coverings for women are strictly enforced, and non-Muslims are asked to avoid the main prayer hall during the five daily calls.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to 61 Park Otel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, facing away from the main road (rear side). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but still within the lift range (likely 4 floors), and the rear orientation cuts down on Trabzon’s busy traffic hum.
Rooms to avoid
Skip ground-floor rooms (street noise, less privacy) and any room directly above the lobby or breakfast area — these can pick up clatter from early morning service. Also avoid rooms at the end of corridors near the lift shaft (mechanical noise).
Best views
Rooms on higher floors facing the rear (non-street side) may overlook adjacent buildings or a courtyard — not spectacular, but peace. If you book a front-facing room, request a high floor for partial sea glimpses over rooftops (Trabzon slopes toward the Black Sea).
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (top floor). Fewer passing guests, less street sound. The lift is unlikely to reach a 5th floor in a 3-star, so top-floor rooms are naturally quieter.
🔊 Noise notes
Trabzon’s streets are busy with taxis, minibuses, and mosques. Expect call-to-prayer (early morning) even in quieter rooms. Street-facing rooms catch traffic from dawn trucks and late-night revellers around nearby eateries. The lift motor can hum if your room adjoins the shaft.
Insider tips
1. Parking is often tight at 3-star city hotels; ask at booking if they have a reserved spot or a nearby car park arrangement — don’t just turn up. 2. Check-in early (before 3 PM) to pick your exact room; otherwise, you’ll get whatever’s left. 3. Request a room with a balcony if available — useful for drying towels and getting fresh air in Sea humidity.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Trabzon
💡 Free to walk around the exterior and climb the walls. The lower castle area is now a residential neighbourhood and not much to see. Focus on the upper castle walls for panoramic shots of the Black Sea.
💡 Cable car (teleferik) costs about 10 TL one-way (very cheap in 2025). Go just before sunset – bring a jacket as it can be windy. The tea garden charges standard prices, so you can nurse a cay for an hour without being rushed.
💡 Free entry, but you need a free ticket from the counter. The garden is the real highlight – bring a picnic and sit on one of the benches facing the sea. Best light for photos is late afternoon.
💡 Entry is around 20 TL (2025 price), but often discounted for students. The garden is free and worth a wander – look for the hidden mosaic floors in the courtyard. Ask at reception about audio guide – sometimes free if available.
💡 Go early morning (opens at 8am) to avoid tour buses and the worst of the queues. The walk up from the car park is steep, but shuttle buses run for a small fee – worth it on a hot day.
