Trabzon International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

Trabzon's airport is one of the most central in Turkey, just 6 km from the heart of the city: two dedicated residences, the Airport Bayrak and the İnanlar, are literally a few minutes from the terminals, in the Pelitli district. Those who want the view over the old town and the Black Sea do better to head up to Boztepe hill, while those travelling for business find the newest chain hotels in Yomra, to the east, near the World Trade Center.

Near the airport (Pelitli)

Airport area · Both properties are a few minutes from the terminals: the Airport Bayrak Residences is about 7 minutes by car, the İnanlar Airport Residence less than a kilometre away.

Best for: One-night layovers or early-morning departures, when every minute of transfer counts.

Pros

You reach check-in in a few minutes, with no dependence on coastal traffic
Apartments with their own kitchen, handy for those arriving late who want to cook something

Cons

The Pelitli district is residential, with no real evening life
Reviews of the İnanlar vary widely across platforms: choose it knowing the perceived rating differs quite a lot
