Furkan gives the best Ephesus tour !!! - I saw the historical sites with an amazing guide, Furkan Karagun! He has so much knowledge about everything we saw and presented in a friendly way. He was very accommodating about my physical limitations too. He has great English and is very charming! In the vehicle between sites we shared many cultural practices and I got to understand Turkey 🇹🇷 on a more in depth level from him . If you can get him for your guide, you will be very lucky !!!
