Sürmene is a town and a district of Trabzon Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. In ancient times nearby was the town of Hyssus or Hyssos and Issiporto.
The little town of Sürmene is situated some 40 km east of Trabzon. Known in antiquity also as Susarmia or Augustopolis, it lies on the River Kora and is best known as the place where Xenophon and his Ten Thousand fell sick after eating wild honey, an event which was confirmed by the local people. In the village of Sürmene Kastil, 5 km to the west of Sürmene, stands a ruined medieval castle as well as the impressive 18th century Yakupoğlu Konağı mansion . It was formerly the seat of the Yakupoğlu family, who lived here as rulers of the surrounding region relatively free of interference from the Sublime Porte in Istanbul.
