TRABZON, 4 November (BelTA - Anadolu Agency) - The ancient monasteries of Panagia Sumela and Vazelon in Türkiye's Black Sea province of Trabzon, were photographed by a drone against the backdrop of autumn colors.

Vazelon is a Byzantine Orthodox monastery, believed to have been built around 270 AD. The monastery is located on a mountainside at an altitude of approximately 1.2 km, making it difficult to access.
