Overview of your Izmir tour

Ephesus is the best preserved of the Greek/Roman cities in Anatolia and while you are visiting the ancient ruins of this magnificent site and as your tour guide, I will bring them alive. We will visit the beautiful Celsus Library, the Grand Theater which is the most spectacular building of Ephesus. After a visit to Ephesus Antique Site, we will visit Sirince Village. This old Orthodox Village, 10 km from Ephesus, was once a Greek Village. We will tour the old Greek houses and learn about the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923.

Denizhan was perfectly punctual to meet us at the port. He was friendly, and happily discussed almost all aspects of Turkish life with us. His knowledge of the country is remarkable. We were tremendously enlightened by both Denizhan's knowledge of both ancient and modern history. Although the lunch place was full of tourists, it was very good, and Denizhan explained it was a real home-style experience locals would not pay for because that's their every day food. It was a good experience.

Denizhan was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He talked constantly, telling us everything - which we just loved. He showed us Ephesus, drawing attention to things many would have missed. We also learned about Turkish ceramics and rugmaking which were very interesting. He also directed us to an authentic homemade Turkish lunch which was delicious. Definitely recommend Denizhan as first-class tour guide.

Denizhan was a perfect guide for our full day of Ephesus and the surrounding area. Deniz's facility with English was excellent, his antiquities knowledge impressive, his choice of additional places to tour memorable, and his choice of a charming lunch stop perfect which all made this a highlight of our Black & Aegean Sea cruise. While Denizhan is a very accomplished and professional guide, he is also an easy conversationalist about local customs and culture.

Denizhan's knowledge of Turkey and of ancient Christian and Islamic history was so informative. He brought to life for us the once thriving city of Ephesus. And how we delighted in our visit to the charming village of Sirince, where we had lunch among the local people. It's clear that Denizhan loves his country, and we fell in love with Turkey, too.
