I’m Deniz, your soon-to-be favorite tour guide in Turkiye. Born in Ankara and raised by the Aegean breeze of Kusadasi , I’ve spent my life blending history, culture, and a good dose of humor into unforgettable experiences. Whether it's ancient ruins or bustling bazaars, I believe every place has a story waiting to be told—preferably with a fun twist!  

My adventure started with a degree in Sinology (yes, I actually studied Chinese language and culture!) from Ankara University. Later, I sharpened my skills at Beijing Language and Culture University, immersing myself in the wonders of Chinese history and language. But as much as I loved China, my heart was always in Turkiye, ready to bring its rich heritage to life.  

Since 2012, I’ve been guiding travelers through Turkiye’s most remarkable historical sites, specializing in archaeology and biblical history. Ephesus, in particular, holds a special place in my heart—walking through its ancient streets, I bring to life the grandeur of the Celsus Library, the echoes of the Great Theater, and the spiritual significance of sites like the House of the Virgin Mary. I’ve led countless private and group tours, sharing deep insights into early Christianity, Roman civilization, and the legends that shaped this land. Whether in Cappadocia’s rock-hewn churches or Laodicea’s ruins, I turn history into a vivid, immersive experience.

If you’re looking for an expert guide who can connect archaeology, biblical history, and storytelling into one seamless journey, I’d love to show you around. Let’s turn your trip into an adventure worth telling!
