Trabzon, TurkeyCapital City
Follows Turkey Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
Forget the romantic notions - living in Trabzon is no easy feat. With a population of 824,352, this Black Sea port city has a persistent bureaucracy that's enough to test even the most patient expat. And while the humid subtropical climate provides warm summers, the brutal winters can be a shock, with snowfall reaching over 115 cm on occasion. Safety is also a concern, as the city has a reputation for nationalist fervor that has at times turned violent. Overall, Trabzon is best suited for those with a high tolerance for red tape and a strong constitution to weather the region's extremes.
