Why not have a memorable experience in a very beautiful place with your own personal guide. All my tours are flexible and can be customized upon to your request. Experience the comfort and friendship. I am waiting for you. . . Dear Guests, I was born in 1978 on the Asian side of Istanbul and had my primary education there. Living very close to the heart of Istanbul and finding a chance to visit different parts of the country by being a part of the school volleyball team after showing an interest in the game played an important role in my life developing an interest in history and culture. It seemed only natural, therefore, that I should want to study being a tour guide. I left Istanbul at the age of seventeen for a university education in Izmir (Smyrna). The curriculum consisted of various subjects such as history, geography, archeology, fine arts and languages. After my graduation I moved to Selçuk (the nearest town to Ephesus ancient city) and began to work as a licensed tour guide in 2001. Since the graduation, tour guiding has been my full-time profession, and I have devoted all my efforts to improving and developing my guiding style, with an emphasis on catering to my guests' requirements and interests. I have assisted in the organization of many different short and long itineraries and have guided groups on all these schedules personally during my twenty two years in business. The Federation of Turkish Tourist Guides recognized me as the tour guide who did the longest tour itinerary of 51 days in the year 2006. I still keep the title proudly. I am married with one handsome child. My wife (Eda) is a licensed tour guide as well and has her Ph. D in tourism management so she works in a university now. I not only work for a travel agency but also work independently by guiding individual or group tours such as daily tours including "the Christian heritage", "the Jewish heritage" and long-term tours. I am always ready to help travelers with their plans through the travel company I work for. Yours Sincerely **Professional Tourist Guide License from Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism 2001 **A.A. Degree on Tour guiding from Çeşme Vacational High School of Ege University 1999 **Award from The Federation Of Turkish Tourist Guides for being recognized as the tour guide who did THE LONGEST TOUR ITINERARY of 51 DAYS in the year 2006 **B.A. Degree in Hospitality Management from the Faculty of Business Administration of Anadolu University 2018 **Certificate of Cultural Heritage Expertise 2019 According to the law, all tours must be operated by a registered A class travel agency. I certainly guarantee that all tours presented here are carried out through a Travel Agency (where I work as a registered guide) with Tursab number 8737.

This is a specifically prepared schedule for those who would like to spend half of the day exploring and the other half relaxing. An amazing city with dozens of ruins that smell the history, such as a library, an enormous theater, marble streets, temples, fountains, statues. Besides, you are going to get an opportunity to see the largest temple in world history, the temple of Artemis (Diana) as well as a terracotta pipe system used as a part of running water, central heating and sewage system back in the Roman era. While exploring history you will experience comfort and friendship. The most remarkable thing with this tour is to explore the sites with the guidance of someone local who has spent most of his 21-year career in this region and got almost all his encyclopedic knowledge from archaeologists excavating there. Wouldn't you like to visit these world-famous sites as millions do? I am here. . .

Upon meeting at Kusadasi Pier we drive for 20min. to the world-famous sites. -After arriving to Ephesus, we start walking roughly a mile (almost 20% excavated area of the city) between the upper and the lower gates.
