I have studied history and languages before getting a professional tour guiding license and I have been traveling for more than 25 years even up to New Zealand, which is the furthest country to Turkey. First of all I love traveling and I know how important having a local host while traveling in a foreign country and especially a historical ancient area such as Ephesus, Bodrum and Izmir. This part of the world has a very long and rich history of culture, religion, culinary and history. It wil be a great experience for visitors to be with someone who can speak a good English to learn every details of the local life by meeting the villagers, farmers, craftsmen and young/ old generation. I will also be showing them nontouristic areas so that my guests will have the idea about the original lifestyle of people and political situation.

Where you'll be
There are alot of villages in the west coast of Turkey. One of them has a great microclimate for wine yards. One eye doctor opened a boutique winery that we can watch the wine making process if the season fits otherwise we will taste wine. Secondly, we will visit the historical ancient Ephesus city for its wonderful ruins. Then house of the Virgin Mary where she is believed to spend her last years. Silk thread making process will be the next
