Distance: 55.2 kmTravel time: 45-50 minsNearest metro: None
Overview
Trabzon Airport to Besikduzu runs west along the coast for around three quarters of an hour, past smaller fishing towns before reaching a district known for its cable car and teaching history. The driver handling your Beşikdüzü transfer meets you at arrivals with your name clearly shown, having followed your flight, and brings a V-Class or Sprinter matched to your group, its WhatsApp-agreed fare already settled. Beşikdüzü's cable car climbs toward Beşikdağ for views back over the coastline, while the old teachers' school marks the district's role in Turkey's rural education history. It suits travellers looking for a calmer stretch of Black Sea coast without the crowds nearer Trabzon centre, with a straightforward road most of the way.
