The Property — Foleya Mountain Resort Otel
Foleya Mountain Resort Otel is a straightforward hillside retreat in Trabzon’s Maçka district, built for travellers who want clean rooms, mountain views, and easy access to Sumela Monastery. The lobby feels like a mid-range Turkish mountain lodge — pine furniture, a stone fireplace, reception staff who can organise tours. There’s no spa, no fuss; the USP is location: you’re 20 minutes from the monastery and 30 from Trabzon city centre. It suits couples or solo hikers who plan to be out all day, not resort loungers.
Chronicles of Trabzon
Trabzon was founded as the Greek colony Trapezus in the 8th century BC, later becoming the capital of the Komnenian Empire — a Byzantine successor state — between 1204 and 1461. The old town still shows its Pontic Greek and Armenian layers in the walled city and Hagia Sophia church, now a mosque. Ottoman rule added mosques and hans, while 20th-century growth pushed modern concrete blocks up the steep valleys. Today Trabzon is Turkey’s Black Sea hub, culturally distinct with its anchovy-heavy cuisine and passionate football culture centred on Trabzonspor.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trabzon guide →Best months
July to September: warm, dry weather for hiking and monastery visits; August is peak but still manageable outside the city centre. September offers slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak domestic holiday season; local families crowd the coastal parks and the Uzungöl lake area. Hotel prices at places like Foleya jump 30–40% from July rates. No major festival — it’s simply school holidays.
Budget shoulder season
May–June and October: room rates drop 20–30%, weather stays pleasant (15–22°C), and the summer haze hasn’t settled or has cleared. April can still be rainy.
Weather & packing
Trabzon’s climate is humid subtropical with sudden mountain showers even in July — you can get sun, fog, and drizzle in one afternoon. Pack a waterproof jacket and sturdy walking shoes; leave flip-flops at home unless you’re swimming.
Live City Briefing — Trabzon
- Sumela Monastery is open year-round but often has short-notice closures for restoration — check the museum website before driving up from Foleya.
- The coastal road in Trabzon city centre is undergoing tram construction (2025–2027), causing lane closures and delays; use the bypass route if heading to Atatürk Pavilion.
- New direct flights from London and Berlin to Trabzon Airport started in late 2025, increasing international visitor numbers — book rental cars and hotel rooms at least two months ahead for July 2026.

Best views
Rooms on the mountain side (south and west orientations) offer green hillside views; east-facing rooms overlook Küme evler sokak and neighbouring buildings.

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.
