So it's official. I've bought my plane tickets and next weekend I fly to Trabzon, in North Eastern Turkey, on the Black Sea. Why Trabzon? Geography, mainly. I have been craving nature for the last two months, and have really wanted to get into the mountains. Around Trabzon are beautiful wooded mountains and lakes, surrounded by picturesque villages.
One of the highlights will be Sumela Monastery, built into a cliff face:

And the lakeside village of Uzungol:

Fatih, Özkan, and myself will rent a car when we get there and head out into the country. The freedom of driving through the woods is what I'm looking forward to most, as traffic in Istanbul is miserable.
Only a week and a half to wait!
