Trabzon weather month by month: rain, summer and winter as residents experience them

Trabzon is mild all year round: a warm, humid summer with highs usually between 25 and 28°C in July and August, and a mild winter on the coast at around 10°C by day, with rain spread across the year and heaviest in autumn and early winter. Snow falls on only a few days on the coast but is plentiful in the highlands. The climate means year-round greenery, and it also means that insulation, ventilation and heating are essential when choosing a property.

Buying in Uzungöl and the Highlands: The Beautiful Dream and the Restrictions to Know

Uzungöl is a mountain lake in the Çaykara district, about 100 kilometres from central Trabzon, and one of the region's best-known tourist destinations. Buying there and in the surrounding highlands is possible, but it differs from buying an apartment in the city: strict building restrictions in protected areas, land that may not be buildable, roads that become difficult in winter, a short tourist season, and holiday rentals that require a licence. Check the land status and permits before any commitment.
