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.
The colours in the frescoes were just like this! Sumela monastery will have you in awe. You need to make it a purpose to get out there from Trabzon because it's not on the way to anywhere.
