Black Sea Tour from Germany 2026: Uzungöl, Sümela Monastery & Trabzon

Tired of crowded Istanbul or the heat of Antalya? The Turkish Black Sea coast is everything you didn't know you were looking for: cool highland air, a monastery carved into cliffs, emerald-green lakes and Turkey's most distinctive food culture.

AlaTourqo's Black Sea Tour starts at €1,199 per person — 8 days, accommodation, meals, transport and guide all included. You fly from Frankfurt, Berlin or Munich to Trabzon. We take care of the rest.

Why the Black Sea? Why Now?

The Black Sea region is Turkey's least crowded, greenest and most authentic route. Most travellers from Germany haven't discovered this region yet — and that's exactly what makes it so special.

• Uzungöl: The iconic lake of Eastern Black Sea, surrounded by forested mountains
• Sümela Monastery: Carved into cliffs in 386 AD — on UNESCO's tentative list
• Trabzon: A city that is both modern and ancient, famous for anchovies and history
• Ayder Plateau: Breakfast at 1,350m altitude with a waterfall soundtrack
• Batumi option: Optional day trip to Georgia available
