ALPHYL Posted August 23, 2005 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2005 :) In June, Stanand Jim and merryecho highly recommended a Levent or Levant Smolza or Smolaz in Instanbul. Tried both URL's and were rejected. Does anyone have up-to-date e-mail address for this person???? Also need recommendations for guides in Rhodes,Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos and Athens--don't really want to use Oceania's Shore Excursion choices. This is a first time cruise and I don't want guides who specialize in taking people shopping!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willmschen Posted August 23, 2005 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I believe that the guide you are referring to is Levent Solmaz. His email address is primy@tnn.net. We are using his sevices in early October before our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evelynborntoshop Posted August 24, 2005 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2005 We also can highly recommend Adnan Duvenci (e-mail: turkishguide@superonline.com) a licensed guide who provided us with a great 4 days of sightseeing. He is knowledgeable, speaks excellent English, personable, dependable, responsive and flexible. He provided us with American references and phone numbers which we checked. His references gave him outstanding marks. We agree. He also helped us retrieve a digital camera that we left in a private van that we took to the airport. He contacted the driver, picked up the camera from him and mailed it to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHYL Posted August 24, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Willmschen: Tried e-mail address you posted for Istanbul guideand it bounced back--so very disappointed. Anyway you might try it and see if you have more success than I did. I'm sure I copied address right. Thanks, ALPHYL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleninNY Posted August 25, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I just this moment got an e-mail from Levent, whom we are using next July. His e-mail address definitely is primy@tnn.net or you can try info@leventsolmaz.com which I have used many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHYL Posted August 25, 2005 Author #9 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Ellinin NY Thanks for contacts for Levent Solmaz. Will try and reach him right away. Are you doing Istanbul-Athens itinerary. If so, have any other guides been recommended in Rhodes,Corfu,Mykonos, Dubrovnik, etc. Would appreciate that info. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleninNY Posted August 25, 2005 #10 Share Posted August 25, 2005 We are doing Athens to Istanbul through the Black Sea, which is a different itinerary. You do not need a guide in Mykonos--either spend the day at one of their gorgeous beaches or stroll around town and look for Peter the Pelican!
