The Turkish state of Trabzon has become a favorite destination for newlyweds from the Gulf countries, especially the Sultanate of Oman, to spend their honeymoon.
In addition to its cultural and historical richness, Trabzon has emerged as a destination for nature tourism and has recently become a magnet for foreign tourists who have recently entered the marital nest.
The province’s director of culture and tourism, Tamer Erdogan, said that Trabzon hosted more than a million domestic and foreign tourists last year.
