Who am I & Contact

Hi my fellow traveler friends !

Welcome to my temple ! It is so nice to meet you virtually and a pleasure to be your guide through your research around Turkish Riviera.

I hope you will find all the information needed on this website. If not, don’t hesitate to DM me on Instagram @izmirtoantalya or to send me a message through the contact form below.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Pelin Yildiz, I am a French woman born in Paris at the end of the 80’s. I graduated from Sorbonne Université in 2012 and moved to Istanbul for work and passion.

I stayed and continued my life in Turkey as a real local citizen. Originally from Izmir and Trabzon, I am very lucky to be able to adapt to every situation or group of people in Turkey and in the world!

In 2011, my carrier as a travel writer started with my first website www.leblogdistanbul.com, which is a complete travel guide of Istanbul. The blog is in French and read by more than 75 000 people every month. 

 

After a while, I was asked by French publishing companies, who noticed my writing skills online, to write their travel books. I wrote more than 10 travel books about Turkey, Istanbul and the Turkish Riviera.

I am quite a traveler. I visited many countries including Equador, India, Australia, Guatemala… But the country I know the most is definitly Turkey 

Right now, you are on my second website, the one I dedicated to the loves of my life, the places I can’t separate from more than 1 month, the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey.

On this website, find my true, honest and passionate guides about all these places I have visited over and over for pleasure as well as for discoveries.

I hope my and my teams’ advice and travel tips will improve the quality of your discoveries and make your trips unforgettable, affordable and more local than touristic.

Yolunuz açık olsun – May your road be clear
