Covid Vaccination Status Vaccine: COV19 MRNA BIONTECH 3 doses I've been working officially as a Tour guide for 14 years. In order to be tour guide in Turkey, you should work really hard, study at the university and you should be succesfull in several exams. When I got my licence, my dream came true. Because I decided to be a tour guide when I was 11 years old. In 14 years, after I started to be quiet experienced tour guide because of my passion. I used to work all around my country but I decided to be a specialist of a certain region and I chose North Aegean part . You can find whatever you look for on the Northwestern part of Turkey. The highlights of the region are Gallipoli battlefields, Troy, Assos and Pergamon. They are all full of with the history, mythology and natural beauty. Because of the strategic importance of the region, there were two important wars between the west and the east, One was 104 years ago, the Gallipoli Campaign and the other one was the Trojan War nearly 3200 years ago, People always interest in both wars as they were mentioned in the history all the time, When you come to visit all these sites, you are going to see that the things that you had already known are missing. If you want to discover and learn more than the written history, you should come soon and follow me.

    We toured Ancient Troy with Ercan, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. I can't imagine getting nearly as much out of Troy without his guidance. Ercan has an incredible depth of knowledge and does an outstanding job of putting everything into historical and archaeological context. He helped us understand the ruins we were seeing, why it mattered, and how Troy...

    Ercan was amazing! We were advised by a friend to book a private Turkish guide to tour the battlegrounds to get a balanced viewpoint (we are Australian) and Ercan didn’t disappoint.

    A very special thanks to Ercan for making this such a special tour. He was very knowledgeable and we greatly appreciated his detailed descriptions and stories about the various sites. We wish we could have had more time in the area to better absorb and understand the events that occurred during the Gallipoli invasion.
