SUMELA
MONASTERY
Altindere National Park provides a magnificent setting
for the 14th-century Sümela Monastery, perched high on
a cliff face 270 meters above a deep gorge. Surrounded
by the ruins of the monks' quarters, is a church
covered inside and out with brilliant frescoes.
Southeast of Trabzon is Lake UzungöI, a lovely alpine
lake surrounded by mountains and meadows, excellent
for camping, hiking and fishing. The restaurants there
also make it the best place for eating river trout.
