Hi, my name is Erdem (Adam), and I’ll be your guide for the cat tours. I have been working as a guide here in Kusadasi since 2015. In 2018, I met Garfield near the theatre. He approached me, and we quickly became friends. I named him Garfield, and since then, we have shared a special bond.
Three years ago, I created the Instagram page garfield_of_ephesus. The purpose of this page is to raise awareness and do something meaningful for the stray cats in Ephesus. From this idea, we launched the cat tour.
Twenty percent of the income from the tours goes toward food for cats and dogs. I also provide some cat food for my guests, so they can share it with the stray cats and enjoy this experience together.
Over the years, I’ve named several cats around Ephesus, including Fluffy, Ginger, Mr. Mustache, Sylvester, Olive, and Mr. Crippled.

Highly recommended. Erdem (Adam) was an excellent tour guide who knew every part of the ruins front to back, was very engaging, funny, and also careful and attentive. There's a part of the ruins that can be quite slippery, even in hot and dry conditions. He made sure to walk us through safely and explain everything well, with an endless list of stories and interesting facts. As for the cats! I would again say he is NOT overselling, and it does make the trip entirely unique. We met (and pet) Garfield, as well as many other cats. We even overheard other guides talk about the cats and Erdem's special status as their friend; they all run up and say hi. Lots and lots of cat stories. Finally, the lunch was good and the carpets were of exceptional quality. You just need to be aware that both the carpet trip and the leather store (featuring a fashion show!) are very much opportunities to make purchases, though neither are required. Thank you Erdem!

Great guide that gave a tour tailored to us and was very, very accommodating. The wine was especially delicious. He loves cats and made them part of the tour.

We had a wonderful day with Adam! Our family was guided around Ephesus, and were delighted to meet the cats and dogs that Adam has befriended over the years- they came running when they saw him! He was engaging and our kids loved him. We felt comfortable with him and he was an excellent guide. We also stopped at a carpet weaving school, a small family pottery shop/factory, and had a delicious lunch of toasted sandwiches, and Doner ) we were lucky to visit on a Saturday when the market was open), then some ice cream, and a stop for Turkish coffee and some of the best baklava I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this tour and Adam specifically. In fact, my parents are coming to Kusadasi in October and will absolutely be recommending this tour to them. Thank you for a memorable day!

We had a fantastic tour of Ephesus with Erdem! He was incredibly accommodating of my mother's mobility issues and made sure she could comfortably enjoy the site. Erdem was knowledgeable, personable, and funny, bringing the history of Ephesus to life while making the experience enjoyable and engaging. It was also lovely strolling through the ancient site and meeting the animal residents including Garfield. Highly recommend!

Erdem is a true cat lover and gave us the best tour. He genuinely cares for the cats and their welfare. They run to him with one shake of his cat food container. Garfield is adorable and the history tour was so interesting. He’s a patient and knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend.
