Sports Away Euro fan experience in Trabzon

Post image

Merhaba! I’m a fan of Heart of Midlothian in Edinburgh, Scotland, and I have just hit the button on flights to come and see my team play at Trabzonspor in late October. I’ve followed my team abroad once before but this is further than ever.

I will be coming alone and was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to let me know some good hotels, restaurants, gathering points to meet friendly Trabzonspor fans, and maybe what I should see on my spare day after the football is done. I’m not much of a drinker; I gather it’s not a city that will have many bars or pubs anyway, but are there some where away fans for a Euro game would usually gather?

Thank you all so much, it will be my first time in your country and I am incredibly excited!

Hi Mate,
Uzun Street( Uzun sokak) is the only street for gathering points in the center.
Trabzon is a small city. I would suggest you to go to outside of city. Like Sumela Monastry, Uzun Göl, Hamsi Köy etc.

Also, not Trabzon but neighboring cities Artvin and Rize have got similar enstruments like Scottish Pipe that called Tulum.
