I recently took a tour of Sumela Monastery with my friend Daisy, and it was truly a memorable experience! From the start, our driver Hussain made us feel welcome with his friendly personality, while our guide Şamel (I hope I have spelt this correctly) kept us entertained with fun stories and historical insights that brought the journey to life.
Not only did we learn so much about the history of the stunning Sumela Monastery, but Şamel also filled us in on the rich culture of the beautiful Hamsiköy village, making us appreciate the area even more. The scenic drive through Zigana was another highlight – the breathtaking views were unforgettable, and it was fun dancing to the Arabic music to stay warm on top of the mountain!
If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate – it’s a such a great experience!

The journey was an incredible tour through the Holy Agia Barbara church and Panagia Soumela Monastery. It’s a pilgrimage I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be immersed in an authentic holy site surrounded by greenery. It was an honour to be able to stand on holy ground and admire the agiasmo drops, various chapels, priest rooms, alfrescos on the wall and history.
The tour continued to Zigana which was a beautiful location very much like the Swiss Alps followed by Hamsikoy village and the delicious Sutlac of the region.
Our tour guide Samil was excellent and explained the history in thorough detail answering all questions we had with a smile. Our driver Ismail accompanied us to every location in a swift, comfortable and prompt manner with traditional pontian music to create the perfect. atmosphere.
Thank you Samil and Ismail.

Our guide, Taner, was wonderful and provided a wealth of information.
The entire trip was full of beauty and history and was time well spent.
There are many stairs and very rough ground. It is challenging to get to the monastery!
The van was in excellent condition, and our driver, Hussain, was very safe and considerate.
10 out of 10 rating.
