About Atatürk Köşkü
Atatürk Köşkü is a historic residence with a garden in the Soğuksu area, on the slopes of Trebizonda.
The building allows observation of a residential architecture different from the city’s Byzantine monuments. The rooms and objects relate to the memory of Atatürk’s visits to the site. The garden and the hillside location complete the experience, adding another urban sector to the coastal itinerary.
Arrange transport for the climb rather than treating the address as an immediate continuation of the downtown walk. Allow time for the house and outdoor spaces, following the permitted areas. The visit can be included in the Trebizonda day, separate from the longer excursion to Sumela.
