About
We got tired of watching people get the wrong version of this city.
Bespoke Istanbul is run by one person, on purpose — so the person planning your trip is the same person you can call while you're in it.
The founder
Revan Ergezen
Personal concierge & part-time assistant in Istanbul
Revan has spent 34 years in event management and tourism in Istanbul — the kind of career that means knowing which restaurant will actually seat you tonight, and which contractor will actually show up when they say they will. Bespoke Istanbul runs on that experience: discreet, reliable, personal assistance, not a call centre reading from a script.
The work goes beyond planning a trip. Revan also acts as an ongoing personal representative in Istanbul — for property owners who need someone to check on a home while they're away, coordinate with staff and contractors, or simply have one trusted person to call. Available part-time, occasionally, or on a fully bespoke basis, depending on what you actually need.
What we believe
A guide is worth more than a list.
Search results don't know you. A person who's actually been to both hammams does.
Fewer, better choices beat more choices.
Three options you can trust are worth more than forty you have to research yourself.
If we wouldn't send a friend, we don't send you.
That's the actual filter — not star ratings, not who pays the best commission.
