of the oldest trade and port cities in Anatolia. Having every

been a great source of inspiration for novels, poems, songs .

always become the subject for hundreds of travel books by
western travelers, some of whom had named it 'the city of tale
in the East'. Trabzon was founded by the Turkish tribes reaching
the Black Sea region via the Caucasus and then ruled by Millets,
Persians, Romans, Byzantium and Kommens respectively. On
26th October, 1461 it was added to the soil of Ottoman Empire.
