I was born and raised in Istanbul (Asian Side) -Kadikoy- , which is known as Ancient Khalkedon right across the waters of Byzantine Constantinople. (European Side of Modern Day Istanbul) My family is originally from Eastern Turkey, a town called Erzincan where Epic River Euphrates is born, I've completed my military service in a small town called Zile, northeast of Cappadocia, where the famous historical phrase was uttered by Julius Caesar as : "Veni, Vidi, Vici". "I came, I saw and I conquered". In a nutshell I was lucky enough to discover and feel the rich history, cultural diversity of this amazing country and meet people from all around Turkey observing their lives since I was very young. I've always wanted to share this diverse culture and history with others. So Being a tour guide (or a theater actor) was my childhood dream and I decided to study tourism since high school all the way through my college education. I've completed a 4 year Travel Administration and Guiding program and toured 40 days cross country finally acquiring my License as an Official Tour Guide in Turkey. I have worked in almost every field of tourism industry for the last 17 years. I've prepared and organized hundreds of custom travel itineraries and conducted dozens of tours as a Tour Guide Travel for English speaking Travelers who visited Turkey in the last decade. The longest itinerary I've prepared, organized and conducted was a 36 day Trip all around Turkey including Istanbul and its vicinity, Black Sea Coast, Southeastern Turkey (Syrian Border), Central Turkey (Cappadocia), Mediterranean(Southern Coast) and the Aegean (Western Coast) of Turkey. I always promise a warm smile, good information with a narrative context, and a good sense of humor. My approach is to be an hospitable traveling buddy rather than just a tour guide. For my guests to understand the prehistoric and Greco-Roman history of our country, I enhance the content of my tours with historical timeline maps, 3D rendered reconstruction videos of the sites.

Overview of your Pamukkale tour

Slopes of Mt. Babadag was a great source for high quality marble. When this fact is added to a lush farmland irrigated by River Menderes, there wouldn't be a better spot to found an Ancient City with an Academy for the Sculptor's. Since the Ancient city was used by the locals until recent times, it still feels like a local village rather than a tourist site. Get ready to see the best preserved Stadium of Turkey where the chariot races, and gladiatorial games took place. Bearing the name of the Goddess of aesthetic, beauty and love, the city houses a grand size temple for Aphrodite ( Venus). To visit Aphrodisias Ancient city we need to take a detour and drive a bit to south from our original route which goes straight from West to East. But this detour is definitely worth-taking cause it will take you a place feels almost like you are in the middle of nowhere but yet to see one of the most exquisite collection of Roman Statuary and architecture.
