About Us,
TURKEY ESCAPADES is a DMC and Tour operator, which is specialized in Incoming Travel Services and Customized Tours, covering every part of Turkey.
I was born in 1983 and raised in Istanbul, the cradle of civilization that served as the capital of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires for 16 centuries, continues to be the all-time center of attraction with its unique history. Istanbul is one of the first cities in the world that come to mind thinking of a both “historic and touristic city”.
I have worked in many parts of the hotels and tourism industry since I was a student in mid-school. I have graduated from Canakkale 18 Mart University Tourism and Hotel Management Highschool in 2005.
By the same year, I have started to work in a travel agency in the Sultanahmet district where I was creating customized itineraries for guests from all over the world. After two years, I have moved to an international tour operator who runs fixed departure tours, fit programs, and mice movements. I have worked in many different positions in the company like the sales department, marketing department, and operations departments. In this period, I have had a chance to visit many countries like India, Philippines, UK, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, UAE, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Greece, Albania, Kosova, Pakistan and Singapore.
At the same time, I have been studying on with my academic studies as well. I have done my master on the Professional Tourist Guiding program at Kapadokya University. With this master’s program, I became a Professional Tourist Guide and received my license. My master thesis was about Anatolian Civilisations and Gallipoli Champaign and Battlefields in WW1.
I have been creating memorable programs for the last 18 years.
In 2021, I have founded Turkey Escapades Travel company as an operator who provides; Special Interest Tours, Small Group Escorted Tours, Religious Tours, Sail&Bike Tours, Cultural Experience Programmes in Turkey, Greece, Morocco, Balkans, Egypt, Jordan, Russia.
