Sümela Monastery

If you want to see a really cool monastery, get to the Black Sea in Turkey and along to Trabzon. Sumela monastery is a car trip out of town. You must walk the final part up to this monastery built into the cliff face in AD 386. This is one of my most favourite discoveries because it's still quite unknown. I'll post a photo of the inside next. #Trove on

I took these photos back in 2007. The memories of this fabulous monastery come flooding back. If you are into out-of-the-way places there is none better than Sumela Monastery near the Black Sea. #Trove on

This is the Sumela monastery out of Trabzon. What looks like just a facade hanging on the cliff face encloses a whole village within. The wire you see is a flying fox to get materials in and out of the steep entrance. #Trove on #Architecture #Details This is truly a hidden gem on the inside.
