The last town to fall to the Ottomans, and the earliest to hold out against the Seljuks and the Mongols, the city of Trabzon, with its mild climate and historical treasures, is located on the coast line of the Black Sea region of Turkey. The city has gained international recognition due to its rich history, architectural sights and its geographical location which offers a vast array of alternatives to those who seek outdoor activities such as swimming, mountain trekking or sightseeing.

Trabzon is known as the “Emerald of the Black Sea Coast”. Its history goes back to 2000 BC. However, the founders of Trabzon are unknown. It is believed that the founders of the city first came to Trabzon from Middle Asia by passing over the Caucasus. The name of the city was first cited in the Xenophon's book Anabasis as "Trapezus". On the route of the ancient Silk Road, Trabzon was situated at a very important point between Europe and Asia. Therefore, the city became a motherland for many civilizations like Milletians, Persians, Romans and Byzantines throughout the history.
