I am finally hee! I can't wait to explore! it's position on the Black Sea coast means it has a rich history, including being the centre of the 'Eastern Roman Empire after the \Sack of Constantinople by Crusaders!
For a Byzanium enthusiast lie me, Trabzon has a special place as it was here where the Emperor moved to temporarily when the Crusaders established the 'Latin Empire' in Constantinople, which lasted about 70 years before the Vassileos returned to the New Rome!
Sumela Monastery is also here, which I can't wait to see.
