Overview

Trabzon Airport to Sürmene is a short coastal run of around thirty to thirty-five minutes, tracing the shoreline east past small fishing harbours to a district known across Turkey for its handcrafted knives. Your Sürmene-bound driver has been following the Trabzon flight schedule since well before touchdown, so the name board waiting past customs marks someone already prepared to load your cases into the V-Class or Sprinter for the coastal run east. The price for the vehicle is agreed and set down in writing before you travel, so the short journey involves no haggling on arrival. Sürmene appeals to travellers keen on Black Sea pide, artisan knife workshops and the historic Memişağa Mansion rather than a longer highland excursion.
