Compared to western European countries, transport is highly cheap in Turkey. A return flight from Istanbul costs 50 to 100€ depending on the time of the flight, which takes about one and a half hours. There are about ten flights a day between Trabzon and Istanbul. The international students can also benefit from ferries running between Trabzon and coastal cities of Russia such as Sochi, as well as bus services between Trabzon and Georgian towns such as Batumi.
