Trabzon, ancient Trapezus, is situated towards the eastern end of the Black Sea.
The Empire of Trebizond flourished here from 1204 until falling to the Ottomans in 1461.
A large Greek comunity remained in the region until the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, following the Turkish War of Independence.
