Transportation Options: Why Rent a Car?

Is it Possible to Go by Public Transport?

It is quite difficult to find a direct public transport vehicle to Cal Cave. First, you have to take Duzkoy district minibuses from Trabzon center, and after arriving in the district, you have to find taxis or infrequent village minibuses going up to the cave. This process can cause a loss of time, especially with the risk of not finding a vehicle on the way back.
