Hello! I’m Mithat. My story with history began when I was a child walking through the mosaic museum in my hometown, Antioch (Antakya). I remember staring at the giant mosaics of dancing Nymphs and thinking: “Someone should tell the stories behind these!” Well… that “someone” eventually became me. I grew up in Antioch, one of the most ancient cities of the world, where every street hides layers of history and every neighborhood tells stories in different languages, cultures, and traditions. Archaeology, art, architecture, and religious history have fascinated me ever since. Since 2004 I have been living in Kuşadası, right next to the legendary ancient city of Ephesus. Since 2010 I have been working as a full-time professional tour guide, welcoming cruise travelers from all over the world and bringing the ancient city to life. If you are interested in Biblical history, Ephesus is one of the most powerful places you can visit. The Apostle Paul preached here for nearly three years, and the city is one of the Seven Churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Walking through Ephesus while discussing the events described in the New Testament creates a truly unforgettable experience. My goal is simple: to connect the past and the present with engaging stories, fascinating details, and a touch of humor. After all, history should never feel like a boring lecture — it should feel like traveling through time. Whether you are passionate about archaeology, Roman daily life, or Biblical history, I would love to explore Ephesus with you. Looking forward to meeting you in Ephesus!

    Mithad is wonderful!! He is not only knowledgeable but he has a true passion for biblical archaeology! He taught us so much in the short time that we had and never made us feel as though a question was too remedial. Because he had a driver, we were able to learn from him and ask questions throughout the tour. We were with our family of 5 and visited the House of Mary,...

    Mithat is an amazing guide! He is organized and ready to answer any questions we had. Even before our tour, Mithat was responsive and very quick to respond to my inquiries. He showed us everything we wanted to see at Ephesus, and he picked a route that circumvented the heavy flow of tourists. I would highly recommend him as a very personable and knowledgeable guide.

    We had a great day with Mithat. He picked us up at the cruise port with clear direction on how to find him. We had a good tour of Ephesus, where he was very knowledgeable about the site and its history. We visited a pottery cooperative and a carpet maker. Mithat was very happy to talk about the local area and Turkyie in a more general sense. He answered all of...
