Hello, my name is Sidar. Before entering the tourism industry, I worked as a carpet maker near the Blue Mosque for four years. In April 2018, I began my career in tourism and took on the management of The Old Ottoman Castle. I genuinely enjoy my work and always do my best to assist my guests and make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. One of the most rewarding aspects of my profession is meeting people from different countries, learning about their cultures and helping them discover Istanbul. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, playing football, travelling and reading books. I warmly welcome all our guests and everyone taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to hosting you at The Old Ottoman Castle and helping you enjoy a memorable stay in Istanbul.
