"Merhaba"! I'm happy that you've found me. Although I'm a new member of this great platform, I have been guiding lovely guests professionally since 2010. Having a Bachelor's Degree from a pertaining University, a License authorized by Ministry of Tourism and having lived around this area for 20+ years, I can provide my guests a unique tour and I love doing it. My story of being a guide started in Troy (Helen of Troy). When I was pursuing my initial education in a University in Troy, they had organized an excursion around the ancient city of Troy and watching/listening to the guides running the tour there, I was very impressed and decided to become a guide myself. Then I re-started the whole thing, changed my University and after 5 years, in 2010 I finally became a professional tour guide. Seeing different people from all around the world; showing them around and getting them to attest to what my country has to offer, plus having a bit of chit-chat and finally seeing them happily say "goodbye" is my biggest motivation. As I customize my tours according to expectations, every day is very excitingly different. Contact me now and let's plan yours together ☺! Important Note: All of my tours are operated by a Category A Travel agency that is a member of the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TURSAB). In accordance with the recent amendments of laws regarding tour guides in Turkey, the tour guides are not allowed to sell tours directly. So, please note that the tours that are guaranteed here are to be by means of an officially registered Category A Travel Agency.

Overview of your Kusadasi tour

In your life, you're maybe going to explore one or two of only a few ancient cities that are on the global list of UNESCO. Ephesus is one of those cities. Here, you'll be able to see heritage of both empires, Roman and Greek, and the fact that they're all so well preserved is one of the most important reasons for many people to visit this fascinating city everyday. Whilst we walk through it, I'll try giving you examples and stories from Ephesians' life to help you "go back in time" and imagine how the life here in Ephesus was. You'll also see the House of Virgin Mary, where she spent her last days. Today this beautiful place serves as a church. Not to mention, we'll visit the Temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. In addition to this; the history, the myths, the gossip and stories people of Asia Minor and today's Turkey have lived past. We'll go through the highlights of these amazing destinations, oh and we'll take some (a lot) great pictures so you can remember it all later!

Amazing day with my family of 6 exploring the ancient ruins of Ephesus with Ozge; a beautiful, warm and kind, knowledgeable guide. She’s the Best! We also visited an authentic Turkish pottery store; Lotus Ceramic’s Garden where the owner was informative and friendly. The pottery was original and gave us a taste of Turkish art and culture. We also experienced carpet weaving on the traditional loom at Nakkas. Wow! Beautiful rugs. Traditional and modern. A farm to table lunch featuring Turkish goodies was another part of our day. Ozge was very accommodating. You will love spending time with her in beautiful Turkey.

Ozge was such a wonderful guide!! We were planning to tour Ephesus and Mary's house. The morning of our tour, we woke up to non stop heavy rain. Ozge rearranged our schedule and we were able to see Ephesus in the afternoon when the rain had stopped and the weather was beautiful. Ozge was such an informative and interesting guide. She gave us all sorts of information about what we were seeing, at Marys house, Ephesus and the ephesus archaeology museum. She also told us about a-lot of traditions and customs in Turkish culture and in her own family which was so interesting to learn about. We were a group of 4 and we all just loved our day with Ozge.
