J'ai exploré la région la plus méconnue de Turquie (Safranbolu, Trabzon, Sumela) - EP 06

Exploring Turkey's Black Sea region means discovering a Turkey radically different from the one we know. In this episode, I take you to Safranbolu, a UNESCO World Heritage Ottoman village and former stop on the Silk Road, then to Trabzon with its little-known Byzantine heritage, and finally to the Sumela Monastery, perched on a cliff 300 meters high in a pine forest reminiscent of Switzerland. Looking for things to do in Turkey beyond Istanbul and Cappadocia? This Black Sea region is brimming with treasures that almost no French-speaking traveler documents—Ottoman houses preserved for centuries, a Byzantine Hagia Sophia that no one knows about, and a thousand-year-old Orthodox monastery that everyone recommended I see. They were right. This episode is part of Crossing Asia, my 7-month journey from Turkey to Japan along the Silk Road. 📍 On the agenda: Ottoman houses in Safranbolu, the historic bazaar, Ottoman architecture, Trabzon, Hagia Sophia, Atatürk Pavilion, Sumela Monastery, Turkey, and the Black Sea forests. 🌍 CROSSING ASIA — EP 06 🔗 USEFUL LINKS 📱 INTERNET ON THE GO — SAILY eSIM → Promo code: Special5 → Link: https://go.saily.site/aff_c?offer_id=... 🛡️ TRAVEL INSURANCE — CHAPKA → https://www.chapkadirect.fr/index.php... —————————————————————————————————— 🌏 MY SOCIAL MEDIA & BLOG 🔹 My Travel Blog: https://www.lelephant-voyageur.com/ 🔹 My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elephant_vo... 🔹 My TikTok:   / elephant.voyageur   —————————————————————————————————— 🌏 WHO AM I?
