Some of the local dishes are hamsi buğlama(boiled anchovy), hamsili pide (flat bread topped with anchovy), hamsi stew, and hamsi köſte (anchovy meatballs).

 The oldest source providing information about the city of Trabzon and the surrounding area is Xenophon's “Anabasis”. In this work Xenophon describes how, after the death of his father, Dareios, Ataxerxes II rebelled against his brother, who was then emperor of Persia. He set out with an army of mercenaries from Sardes (Salihli) and encountered the army of the emperor at Kunaksa, near the Babylon of Kyros, governor of Western Anatolia.

Trabzon has become easily accessible thanks to the newly built motorway and the airport is in service as well. Furthermore the city center has an advanced transportation network. The Trabzon Airport is the largest airport of the Black Sea region that receives mutual flights and shortens the distances between many cities every day. The shuttles and taxis stationed outside the exit gates take their passengers to their destination in the shortest time possible.
