About the family
Why not put everything on one website?
Depth. A page about the Terrace Houses of Ephesus written by a guide who walks them weekly beats a paragraph on a general Turkey site every time — for you reading it, and for the search engine deciding who to show. Ten focused sites let us go as deep as the subject deserves.
Are the Spanish sites translations of the English ones?
No. They are written natively in Spanish by Spanish-speaking guides. Machine-translated travel content reads like machine-translated travel content, and we would rather not insult anyone.
Do all ten sites use the same agency?
Yes — every tour is operated by Gezginol Tours under TÜRSAB licence 15746. The websites differ in subject and language, never in standard.
