Historic Sunset Trail
Embark on a captivating hike through Trabzonโs lush landscapes followed by a romantic sunset view amid historical ruins.
- The day begins with both of you arriving at the entrance of Sumela Monastery, where the untouched beauty of Trabzon's mountains greets you. With comfortable hiking shoes on, you gradually ascend along the paths enveloped in rich greenery, occasionally pausing to admire the flora and fauna.
- As you reach higher grounds, the panoramic views of the valleys and pine forests provide perfect spots for restful breaks and memorable photos. Through your conversation, the historical significance of the area adds depth to the natural splendor, enhancing your appreciation.
- Finally, as the golden hour approaches, you find yourselves at a secluded lookout near the monastery ruins. Here, amidst the silence of nature and the setting sun painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, you share a simple yet delightful picnic, sealing the day with its picturesque beauty.
Preparation steps:

- Pack a picnic breakfast or snack that doesnโt require much setup - perhaps sandwiches, fresh fruits, and some refreshments. Include a comfortable blanket to sit on and perhaps a light portable speaker to enjoy some background music while you relax.
- Charge your camera or ensure your phone has enough battery life and memory to capture the scenic views and special moments throughout the day. Also, it might be wise to download a map of the hiking trails if cell service is unreliable in the area.
