It is best to visit Ephesus with a good
guide - especially if it is your first visit. Although there are many licensed,
official tour guides, I believe that Can (John) Yigit is one of the best. One of
the main reasons is, not only does he love this place, but he worked here beside
the archeologists when he was in college. And, is very personable. His English
is excellent and he makes the place come alive with his narrative. Contact

are a couple of comments about John.
►"We were very much taken with your country, and especially with our
Turkish guide, Mr. Can Yigit. He displays an extremely good knowledge about
our country, a sense of history which he related with humour, and above all,
a tremendous pride in Turkey, whish was infectious." Richard Burkett.
►"It's been a great pleasure to meet you
and benefit from your extensive knowledge of your country and its many
interesting sights. Your English is very good, and I especially appreciate
your willingness to answer questions and discuss various aspects of Turkish
life. You're an outstand guide!" Jane Owens. |
