Discovering the world through Wine, Culture and the charm of Istanbul

I'm Derya. Born and raised in Istanbul.  I developed my +20 years of professional career in Switzerland.

Traveling has always been my gateway to the soul of a place, and nothing speaks more deeply to me than the stories told through wine and culture. My passion lies in exploring destinations where history, artistry, and tradition meet in a glass of wine or a local delicacy.

And then, there’s Istanbul—a city like no other. Straddling two continents, it captivates me with its blend of old-world elegance and vibrant modernity. Walking its streets, I find echoes of empires past, aromatic bazaars teeming with life, and a culinary tapestry that pairs perfectly with the warm hospitality. Istanbul is not just a destination but a must see city, where my love for my hometown and culture comes alive in its most enchanting form.

My passion for Istanbul, wine and cheese led me to found Mycraftedtour and craft unique tours.
