Trabzon Airport to Koprubasi
Distance: 52.5 kmTravel time: 50-60 minsNearest metro: None
Overview
Trabzon Airport to Köprübaşı is one of the longer inland runs, climbing through dense pine forest towards Madur Mountain and a scattering of high plateaus that still feel far from the coast. A name board and live flight tracking mean the pickup shifts automatically if your timing changes, before a private V-Class or Sprinter carries you up to your hotel or bungalow at a fare already fixed in writing. Köprübaşı appeals to travellers curious about traditional life away from the usual routes, including villages known for handcrafted boxwood spoons, and works well as a slower, more remote extension of a Trabzon trip rather than a quick day out.

Good to know
- Head towards the far exit of arrivals if travelling with hiking gear, as it sits closer to where longer-route drivers park.
- Take out cash at the airport, since remote village shops near Köprübaşı rarely accept card payment.
- The forest road has long stretches with no fuel stations, so tell your driver in advance if you need a stop.
- Warm layers matter here more than on the coast, as temperatures drop noticeably at plateau altitude.
- Save your accommodation's location offline, as mobile signal is patchy in parts of the pine forest.
- Ask your driver about nearby spoon-carving workshops if handmade crafts interest you during the stay.

Does a late-arriving flight into Trabzon disrupt the Köprübaşı pickup plan?

Coverage can drop in stretches of forest and at higher altitude, so it is worth downloading any maps or directions before setting off.
