Tour Leaders
Hi There! My name is Suzanne Houston. I have lived and worked in Turkiye for three years, teaching English. During this time I have travelled extensively throughout the country, visiting many amazing historical sites and making wonderful, long-lasting friendships. My good friend, Figen Akel has lived all her life in Istanbul and has an in-depth knowledge of Turkiye. Together, we have carefully designed and planned a tour that encompasses many aspects of Turkish history, culture and lifestyle. Come with us and experience this beautiful country and all it has to offer.

Istanbul - a city in two continents
Straddling Europe and Asia, this magnificent city has so many delights to offer you. Mosques, palaces, towers, hamams, ferries, shopping, people and food.

Turkish towels and blankets - luxurious organic cotton, hand-woven
Here's what sets us apart
Step back into a time where quality, natural & organic were not choices, they just were. This is a time where craftsmanship and the work of a true artisan was appreciated. We source products from some of the last families and individuals that still have a weaving tradition in Turkiye. All the textiles we sell are woven on old-style shuttled looms using natural materials, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton. All fibres used and all the artisans are Turkish and all the weaving done within Turkiye.

Organic, Sustainable Sources
We source only natural materials grown and produced in Turkey under sustainable conditions.
