About TripInTurkey

TripInTurkey is an independent travel guide created to help travelers explore Turkey with real insight, not just generic information.

My name is Ömer, and I studied tour guiding degree at university for four years between 2004 and 2008. I have been a licensed tourist guide in Turkey since 2008. Based in Cappadocia, I have spent years guiding international travelers across the country — from the ancient streets of Istanbul to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, the ruins of Ephesus and the hidden gems of Southeast Anatolia. I guide tours all over Turkey.

This website is built on real experience.

Unlike many travel blogs that simply repeat the same information, TripInTurkey focuses on practical, honest and experience-based travel advice. Every guide is written to help you understand not only what to see, but also why it matters.

Turkey is not just a destination — it is a meeting point of civilizations. From Hittites and Romans to Byzantines and Ottomans, every region has its own story. As a guide, my goal is to help you experience that history in a meaningful way, not just visit it.

Here you will find:

  • Detailed destination guides

  • Practical travel tips

  • Realistic itineraries

  • Cultural and historical insights

  • Honest recommendations based on experience

Whether you are planning your first trip or returning to discover more, this site is designed to help you travel smarter and experience Turkey more deeply.

If you want to explore Turkey beyond the typical tourist routes, you are in the right place.
