About TripInTurkey

TripInTurkey is an independent travel resource created from years of firsthand experience guiding travelers across Turkey.

My name is Ömer. I completed a four-year university degree in Tour Guiding between 2004 and 2008 and have worked as a licensed professional tour guide in Turkey ever since. Based in Cappadocia, I have guided international travelers throughout the country—from the historic streets of Istanbul and the ancient ruins of Ephesus to the landscapes of Cappadocia and the lesser-known regions of Southeastern Anatolia.

TripInTurkey is built on that experience. Its purpose is to provide practical, honest and locally informed advice that helps travelers understand not only what to see, but also how to plan a realistic journey and why each place matters.

Turkey is more than a collection of famous attractions. It is a meeting point of civilizations, shaped by Hittites, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuks, Ottomans and the many communities that continue to define the country today. My aim is to present this history in its proper context while also answering the practical questions travelers face before and during their journey.

Here you will find:

  • Detailed destination guides

  • Practical travel-planning advice

  • Realistic day-by-day itineraries

  • Cultural, historical and archaeological insights
