Abdullah

Hi Everyone My name is Abdullah but everyone calls me Apo or Apple. I’m from Cappadocia regione. I have studied 4 years in Ege University Tourism Faculty in Tour Guiding Department in Cesme town. I studied History of Art, Archeology, History of Religions, History of Architecture, Mythology and a bit Philosophy. I also took online courses from Yale University, Khan Academy and İstanbul Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts on Fine Arts and Byzantine History. I like reading and discovering new things. It is my way of life! I also like sharing my experiences and knowledge with travellers those who want to go in deeper and discover more! I can say that I’m good in history, Mythology and in Paintings of great Masters. I like to listen and learn other's stories as well. I belive that life consists of great stories so I like to create my own story and share it with others! My İstanbul is very beautiful, it is like an ocean; The more you dive the more you discover! İf you want to see and discover more book me as your guide and you will see. The magic will work and You will not be the same again!
