Send Flowers to Trabzon, Turkey

Trabzon is squeezed between the Black Sea and steep green mountains in the north-east of Turkey, a city of rain, tea, hazelnuts and passionate football supporters. Its history as the old trading port of Trebizond survives in the thirteenth-century Hagia Sophia by the sea and in the old walls of Ortahisar, the central district. Visitors take the road inland to the Sumela Monastery, built into a cliff face.

People from the Black Sea coast have emigrated widely, to Istanbul, Germany and beyond, and they are known for staying loyal to their home town. Karadeniz Technical University brings students in the other direction. Hillside streets and buildings stacked on slopes are normal here, and a phone call from the florist is often the easiest way to find the entrance.

Flower delivery in Trabzon is next day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight Turkish time. A local florist prepares the flowers by hand. The damp, mild climate suits fresh blooms. Sundays and main public holidays are not delivery days.
