About Marco and Selcuk
I am a 50 years old teacher who came here 12 years ago just on a boring organized tour and with lot of prejudices about Turkey and ıstanbul...After a week in Turkey and three days in ıstanbul I got bewitched :) I m still here after 12 years.Now I retired in a tiny village close to Troy on the crystal aegean sea and I come every week to Istanbul to ...love her better as a tourist:) I can understand all the fears ,the expectations and the excitement a western person can harbour before visiting Istanbul ...for many of you this can be a journey of life and the city itself and the location of our flats right in the center of the old Pera will help you to enjoy the old and the new ıstanbul at its best . I am also a mine of advice and ideas if you want to plan a tour in the other Turkey after your stay in Istanbul ...dont miss Troy, Assos and the aegean coast with Bergama Efes Selcuk and Aphrodisias along with Pamukkale and the East ...Konya Cappadocia and Mardin and the Black Sea region ... I have been a tourist and a pilgrim to the rest of Turkey..so please feel free to make the best of my memories and my experiences there ...
