Walking
If you're starting from the Trabzon city center, head towards Atatürk Street (Atatürk Caddesi). Walk straight along this main road for about 10 minutes until you reach the famous Trabzon Castle (Trabzon Kalesi). From the castle, continue walking down towards the waterfront for another 5 minutes. As you approach the waterfront, you will see a large marketplace area. Taşhan is located in the Çarşı district. Look for Paşahamam Street (Paşahamam Gç.) which leads into the marketplace. Taşhan is located at No:6 on this street; it's a historic building and should be easily recognizable.
Public Transport
From the Trabzon bus terminal (Otogar), you can take a dolmuş (shared taxi) towards the city center. The dolmuş will drop you off near the main square (Küçük Sanayi). From there, walk towards Atatürk Street (Atatürk Caddesi) and follow the walking directions mentioned above. The dolmuş ride typically takes around 15 minutes.
Taxi
You can easily find a taxi from any location in Trabzon. Just tell the driver to take you to Taşhan located at Paşahamam Gç. No:6, in the Çarşı district. The ride should take about 10 minutes from the city center, depending on traffic conditions. Ensure you have the address in Turkish: 'Paşahamam Gç. No:6, Çarşı, Trabzon'.
