Greetings from Istanbul, The City that never sleeps. Thank you for choosing Istanbul as your next destination. I'm sure you'll love this city and bring good memories back home. I'm Anil. 38 years old. I was born and raised in Canakkale (a. k. a. Troy in English where Troy movie(2004) was shot). I graduated from Selcuk University in 2008 and studied Tourist Guide. Since our studies covered many subjects, I got courses in Art History, Religion, Archeology, Literature, etc. During my university years, I worked at hotels as a waitress and receptionist to cover my expenses for my studies. I got my license in 2009 and I've been working as a tour guide in Istanbul since then. History is my main focus but literature and cinema are my personal interests. I even took courses on scripting short movies from Cem Baseskioglu (Film Director). I would like to talk about my personal life a little. I live in the Asian Side of Istanbul, Moda/Kadikoy. I feel so lucky to live here because this neighborhood hosts Erasmus students, different cultures and religions such as Christians, and Jews. It's full of bars, restaurants, and theaters. Moreover, it's a very animal-friendly neighborhood. I can simply say it's the pearl of Istanbul. I live with my beautiful kitty called Luna. I have 4 rescued dogs and many cats in my hometown. As summary, You can experience the history of this city such as Justinianus's Hagia Sophia, the tiles of Blue Mosque, greatness of Topkapi and Dolmabahce Palaces. You can walk in the historical streets of Eminonu. You can taste famous ice cream, kebaps, veggie starters and so on. After that, you can navigate along The Bosphorus for a nice breeze. Please feel free to reach out to me after making up your mind. We can customize it together without any hassle.
