Kadri was our guide for two days: perfect Italian, very in-depth knowledge of the places, history and culture; but not only that, he was always in contact with us even on other days, always ready to help us with useful advice. Nice person with a profound culture.
This one was a short and sweet tour. It's the guide that really makes all the difference. Ebru shared a lot of info about the mosque that we would have never been able to know without her there.
