Trabzon Hotels — Where to Stay with the Family: Meydan, the Seafront or Uzungöl?
Trabzon is not one hotel area: the centre at Meydan puts restaurants and markets at your feet, the seafront hotels near the airport give you the sea and quiet, and Uzungöl and the plateaus give you wood and fog. This guide explains each area and who it suits, with online booking from Seen at direct USD prices, or a 5-star hotel inside the Trabzon VIP packages with tours and driver.
Quick facts
Trabzon hotel areas, one by one
Meydan and the city centre
The heart of Trabzon: Meydan square, Uzun street, restaurants, cafés and markets on foot. Modern 4 and 5-star hotels, best for a family that goes out in the evening without a car. Seen’s “city centre” VIP package uses a hotel here.
The seafront near the airport (Yomra)
Large hotels directly on the sea with views, spacious rooms and a pool, minutes from the airport and a quarter of an hour from Meydan. Quiet, good for large families and for starting tours early. Seen’s “Novotel” VIP package is here.
Uzungöl
Wooden hotels on the lake and bungalows on the slopes: the stay is the experience. One or two nights are enough, then back to the city. For couples and families who want the fog and the sunset.
Boztepe and the hills
Hotels and apart-hotels on the city hills with panoramic views over the sea and the bay, quieter than Meydan and closer to it than the coast. You need a car to go up and down.
The plateaus: Hıdırnebi and Ayder
Simple wooden cabins for a night above the clouds or near the hot springs. A nature experience, not luxury, for young groups and families who prefer nature to services.
How to choose
Five nights or more: the centre or the seafront as a base plus a night in Uzungöl. Three nights: the centre only. With small children: a seafront hotel with a pool. Couples: Meydan, then Uzungöl.
Quick pick by trip type
When prices are best
Prices peak from June to September with the Gulf season and are best in April, May and October, with mild weather and full greenery. Booking two months ahead secures family rooms in the few 5-star hotels in the centre. Seen’s prices come straight from the booking system in USD.
Getting there from the airport
Trabzon airport is almost inside the city: 15 to 20 minutes to Meydan by car, minutes to the seafront hotels. Seen arranges pick-up by private car and driver, books the hotel online at a direct price, or includes it in the Trabzon VIP package with tours and breakfast.
