Traditions in Trabzon?

Question

what are the traditions like in Trabzon? do the people there tend to be more religious and more family oriented then other parts of Turkey like Istanbul? How are there traditions different to other parts of Turkey?

Answer 1

Some are religious, some are not. All are family oriented. You've got to respect the elders. They are easy to fire up, but generally very caring, honest and outspoken, even blunt (ahem!). Once you get used to the demeanor, you love them like your own.

The food needs getting used to, especially the traditional ones. Wonderful vista in and around villages.
