The family
Our eleven travel websites
Eleven websites, one licensed agency, more than 800 pages of free guides. Nine of the eleven domains date from 2012–2014 — these are not landing pages thrown up last month. The oldest one is older still: nearly 25 years after it first went online, we are its proud owners and run it today.
The oldest website in our family: infoephesus.com, online since 2002.

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. Eleven 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 eleven sites use the same agency?
Yes — every tour is operated by Gezginol Tours under TÜRSAB license 15746. The websites differ in subject and language, never in standard.
