Akçaabat makes evening decisions genuinely hard: the waterfront promenade pulls you one way, the smell drifting out of tiny restaurants down narrow side streets pulls you the other. Sitting by the water watching the waves, or wandering the back streets with no particular plan — both sound fine. It sits right next to Trabzon but somehow keeps its own unhurried rhythm. Stop overthinking it and roll the dice; whatever the coast hands you, go with it.
