The route starts at the coastal road
Çarşıbaşı sits on the single coastal road every visitor to Trabzon uses. The highlands and the lakes are reached from here.
Planning the Uzungöl and Sumela route?
If you are choosing between staying near Uzungöl and staying on the coast, Villamore gives you both: Uzungöl is 132 km (1 h 40 min) on a straightforward coastal road, and you come back to a house on the water. Sumela Monastery is 82 km (1 h 7 min). Every figure here is measured, not estimated.
Why Villamore
Çarşıbaşı sits on the single coastal road every visitor to Trabzon uses. The highlands and the lakes are reached from here.
The Uzungöl area gets busy in summer and cold at night. Villamore is on the quieter coast — spend the day up there, spend the night by the sea.
Twelve guests. Bring the large family cars, stay put, and plan every excursion from a single base.
132 km each way is a full day, not an afternoon. We say so plainly: if Uzungöl is the only reason you are coming, staying closer to it may suit you better.
