Shopping in Trabzon works on two levels. The old centre around Kunduracılar and the surrounding lanes is where the character is: fabric shops, goldsmiths, spice and dried-fruit stalls, and workshops still producing kazaziye, the fine silver filigree the region is known for. Prices for handicrafts vary with weight and workmanship, so ask what you are paying for.
The second level is the modern mall circuit, which matters more than it sounds in a city where rain is frequent — it is a reliable rainy-afternoon plan with food courts and cinemas. For things to take home, hazelnuts, regional honey and Black Sea tea travel well. Buy perishables late in the trip and check what your home country allows you to bring in.
