ERDEM
Hi, I'm Erdem, your running guide in Istanbul.
I was born and raised in this city before spending 25 years living in Toronto, Canada. Returning to Istanbul gave me a fresh appreciation for what makes it such a remarkable place: its energy, history, scale, and endless surprises.
Running has always been my favorite way to explore the world. It has taken me from Toronto's waterfront trails to the mountains overlooking the Strait of Hormuz in the UAE, yet nowhere captures my imagination quite like Istanbul.
What I love most about running here is how quickly the city reveals itself. In just a few kilometers, you can pass through layers of history, from Roman and Byzantine landmarks to Ottoman architecture, vibrant neighborhoods, and stunning Bosphorus views. Every route tells a different story.
My goal is simple: to help you experience Istanbul the way locals do, moving through it rather than looking at it through a bus window. Expect great conversations, plenty of energy, and a unique perspective on one of the world's most fascinating cities.
I can't wait to run with you and show you around!
