My name is Farida Altundag, and I'm excited to introduce you to the amazing world of history, culture, and natural beauty of Turkey's western coast.
Born in sunny Baku, I was exposed to a diverse range of cultures and languages from childhood, which inspired me to study English and pursue teaching.
After advancing from the Azerbaijan State Institute of Languages, I taught for several years before moving to Kusadasi, where ancient meets modern.
Since 2003, I've dedicated myself to tourism, becoming a licensed guide with the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism. I own the travel agency Kara Kaplan Tour (Tursab No. 15760) and conduct tours that transport guests through the ages:
🔹 Ancient Ephesus – where Cleopatra and Apostle Paul set foot
🔹 The «Holy Virgin» House – a destination for pilgrims from all over the world
🔹 The Temple of Artemis – one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
🔹 Sirince Wine Village – with its terraces and the aromas of local wines
🔹 The surreal terraces of Pamukkale and ancient Hierapolis
🔹 Forgotten cities – Priene, Miletus, Didim, where myths come to life
🔹 Vibrant Izmir and majestic Pergamon
🔹 Cozy strolls through Kusadasi with its colorful bazaars
My tours aren't just stories, they're journeys through time.
You'll walk along streets where ancient Greek agoras once bustled, Roman emperors once spoke, Christians preached, and Ottoman sultans later erected mosques.
I'll help you not only see but also feel the spirit of these places, uncover their secrets, and take a piece of them home with you.
Welcome to Turkey – let's create unforgettable memories together!
PS Do you love history as much as I do? Then see you on a tour! 🌿✨
I speak Russian, English, and Turkish fluently.
