Sümela Monastery
Today is the 24th of April,Friday,the 37th day of our stay at home with my family because of the Corona Virus. Today i want to write about an old trip of mine. When i studied in Karadeniz Technical Univesity in Trabzon,Turkiye some of my high school friends visited me.
Year 2004, I was a student at the university and I lived in a student house in Trabzon. Two of my friends who studied at another university in Istanbul asked me to take them to Trabzon.
By the way, I have to say that hospitality is very important in Turks. Although I had an exam week, I took my friends in Trabzon and Rize for 4 days.I must also say that the photos were taken in 2004 with Orite that has got only 5 megapixels.Frankly, my friends were quite unlucky. Because it rained during our visit. We're talking about the weather of Trabzon though, right?
In this article, I will explain our 1st day from begining to end.
First of all, we got on one of the buses that left From Çömlekçi to go to Sümela.After a half-hour journey, the bus stopped near the forest. This was the front of the place to climb to the monastery. In 2004, there was only one cafeteria. As we got off the bus, it started to rain like cats and dogs and we waited for a while for the rain to stop.The rain did not stop, on the contrary, I witnessed the second best hail shower in my life.Anyway, we started walking after half an hour when the weather became favorable.
I would like to point out here: If you go from the wide road (car road) from the left side, it takes a little longer and there are fewer slopes. The road on the right is more like a path and I think trekkers will like it. There are more and steep slopes.
It had been 8-9 minutes since i started walking,I started to mutter to myself, "Where is this monastery?" . When I looked through an open part of the forest, I suddenly faced a breathtaking view of monastery in the mist
After climbing another 2-3 minutes, we finally came to the door of the monastery. Some of the places that we entered were closed due to renovations. What impressed me most at that time were: they made wells at the entrance of the monastery and that hollow places could be built by carving the rocks.
The fact that the huge rock was carved, not only made into a room, but also embroidered and painted in the pictures, makes an already astonished person even more astonished.
Yes, friends, I leave you alone with other pictures I have taken. I apologize again for the quality of the pictures. If there is no setback after the corona virus epidemic, I plan to go again and take better pictures for you.
All the pictures are taken with Orite and edited by the Photoshop,just basic things.
All photos and drawings are belongs to me and for sale in HQ digital format for Hive/Hive Dollar, please contact if interested at discord @mnallica
