Trabzon Museum, Turkish Black Sea Coast, Turkiye
4.0 (111 reviews) Spent Ranking #8 in Trabzon Province Speciality Museums
Wonderful insight into life before 1923
A large villa still furnished much as it would have been by a wealthy family before the population exchange. Two floors of lovely rooms, with much older artefacts in the basement. And it's immediately opposite one of the best coffee shops we've been to in Turkey. The Museum (Muze) is closed on Mondays.

Ayasofya Church/mosque/museum
It's a shame to name this place as Trabzon Museum. It is an 11th cc basilica, Hagia Sophia Church, which was a museum and recently converted to a mosque. It was built by the Komnenos Dynasty.

Fantastic murals, well worth a visit
As you find frequently in Turkey Churches seem to be transformed into mosques and vice versa. The wall paintings are incomplete but still impressive, remarkable to see a version of the Last Supper and other incidents from the Christian Bible. Wear study shoes as it is a site not suited to flip flops or for anyone with an impaired ability to walk.
