Boztepe
A tea-garden lookout on a hill south of the city centre, overlooking Trabzon, its port and the Black Sea, especially beautiful at night.
Boztepe is a small hill south of Trabzon's city centre. Around its summit are open-air tea gardens and restaurants, where locals go about their daily routine, sipping Turkish black tea and eating breakfast platters while overlooking the whole city, the port and the Black Sea. The city lights come on after sunset, making it a good spot for night photography. From Meydan Square, a minibus takes about 15 minutes, or you can take a taxi. The hill also has a viewing platform with a giant city lettering sign.
