The Property — Kubaشقق كوبا
Kuba Apart Hotel is a functional, no-frills 3-star place in Ortahisar, Trabzon’s central district. You get clean, self-catering apartments rather than hotel fuss, and the lobby feels like a practical transit hub — useful for families or groups wanting space and a kitchenette. The USP is honest value in a convenient spot near the coast road, not elegance or service frills.
Chronicles of Trabzon
Trabzon, ancient Trapezus, was founded by Greek colonists from Sinope in the 8th century BC, later becoming the capital of the independent Empire of Trebizond after the Fourth Crusade. Its old town still shows Byzantine walls and churches, notably Hagia Sophia, now a museum, and the 13th-century Virgin Mary (Panagia) church. Under Ottoman rule after 1461, it grew as a Black Sea trade hub. Today Trabzon is a lively, traffic-heavy city of around 800,000 people, mixing conservative piety with a modern, tea-obsessed coastal lifestyle.
Best Time to Visit
Full Trabzon guide →Best months
May, June, September. This gives you warm, mostly sunny weather (18-25°C) and avoids July-August’s tourist crowds and summer school holiday peak.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Summer holidays drive domestic Turkish and foreign tourists; hotel prices often double. The July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day (15 July) adds a public holiday peak.
Budget shoulder season
October and April. Still mild (12-18°C), with far fewer visitors and hotel rates 30-50% lower. You might get rain, but you dodge the peak-price game.
Weather & packing
Trabzon is one of Turkey’s rainiest cities, averaging 124 rainy days a year; a waterproof jacket or umbrella is essential even in summer. Pack layers — coastal humidity can shift fast to cool sea breezes.
Live City Briefing — Trabzon
- New Trabzon Airport terminal: the expanded international terminal opened in early 2025, cutting passport queues and adding new direct flights from Gulf and EU cities. Check your arrival terminal.
- Ongoing Uzun Sokak pedestrianisation: the main shopping street is partly pedestrian-only from late 2025, but trams and roadworks may disrupt taxi access around it.
- Ayder Plateau congestion: the popular highland destination 85 km away now requires a paid digital reservation for private cars during summer weekends — book a seat on a minibus instead.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Kubaشقق كوبا, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, facing the rear courtyard. These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise but low enough for quick lift access. The rear orientation cuts traffic rumble from Trabzon's main roads.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms and any room directly above the lift lobby. Ground floor picks up lobby chatter and street noise; lift-adjacent rooms get grinding and dinging all night.
Best views
For a decent view, ask for a front-facing room on floor 4 or 5. You’ll see the cityscape and, on clear days, the Black Sea horizon. Rear views are just other buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 to 4 are the quietest. The lift still serves them, but they’re above the lobby hum and below any roof-top equipment noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Trabzon is a busy port city; the hotel sits on a main road with heavy traffic from early morning to late evening. Expect delivery trucks, horns, and construction noise from nearby redevelopment sites. The lift is old and audible in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. Park in the public garage a block south — hotel parking is tight and costs extra. 2. Check in after 2pm to avoid waiting; the front desk moves slowly at peak times. If you want a courtyard room, ask at booking — they rarely assign them automatically.
- 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.
