Trabzon is a very beautiful place, at least from a natural standpoint. Stunning scenery. I'd recommend anyone to check it out on Street View or Google Images. The climate, by Turkish standards, is rather Britain-like too, except with humid summers with hot lows. In winter though, it feels very much like a November in England and both the rain and the gloominess is similar. I think from that standpoint, he'll be used to it.
