He used to take me to Ephesus when ı had five years of age and would let me speak about the history of the ancient site. As time passed, I decided to follow in his footsteps and became a guide. I am a professional tour guide since 2010 and my expertise is in Roman history and Biblical history of Ephesus. I enjoy in meeting with new people and I take pride in showing the Turkish culture to my guests as they enjoy the sightseeing, history, cousine and Turkish hospitality. I am especially interested in making shore excursions for Ephesus to Cruise guests, as I know they need to create a perfect balance of time and quality. If you are looking for a personalised experience, I believe to be the right choice. I look forward to your inquiries and your arrival! I am a professional tour guide for 12 years.

Overview of your Kusadasi tour

To visit Ephesus is to discover incredible testimonies of ancient times. It was the third largest city in the Roman Empire with great importance in the ancient world and featured prominently in the New Testament. The history of the city is absolutely amazing, Ephesus is considered the most complete ancient city in Europe and one of the best ancient ruins you can see. And of course, during your visit, you will enjoy visiting some of its most popular locations, such as the marble Temple of Artemis, the Basilica and the Library of Celsus, which are considered the best archaeological sites in the world. And besides the architectural and historical monuments, I will also take you to see the old but amazing tradition of weaving handmade carpets. Made from the finest natural materials such as soft shiny wool, fine silk or cotton of the highest quality and with the art of weaving still living here, you will experience the best of Turkish carpets and their value and uniqueness.
