ITEM: The Only Way To Turkiye
Where to start in one of the most cultural and historically significant countries in the world? Distilling Türkiye riches into a meaningful trip requires the savvy of experts who are born to the land, who understand it’s past, present and people. That’s why we’ve brought ITEM into the By Georgie portfolio. Because to make the most of Türkiye, you must engage with its guardians.
Their tailored itineraries present Istanbul and Cappaddocia in a way we’ve never seen. Ditto their Aegean sailing adventures, where clients can explore pristine coastline in traditional gulet boats. But it’s perhaps the South East that excites the most, where ITEM offers unprecedented access to live excavations at ancient archeological sites. History lovers will swoon.
Billur Kaytaz and Sule Uzun
Speak to Billur and Sule about Türkiye and you’re rather quickly hit with a sense of being in good company. Best friends and a formidable working pair, they speak of their homeland with the wide-eyed joy of adventurers discovering its history, culture and food for the first time. And yet, they’ve been curating transformative itineraries for nearly 30 years. We love that they only work with hotels, guides and craftspeople that they’ve experienced personally. It all channels the same core aspiration: that you leave Türkiye loving it as much as they do.
