About Us

Our story

Güven Turizm was founded in Dikili in 2017. Our work grew from a love of the sea, maritime culture and the Aegean region. We began with Bahar Güven, our custom-built wooden gulet, welcoming local visitors and guests from Türkiye and abroad.

In 2024, we added the steel-hulled Güven Tur boat to our fleet as part of our investment and modernisation programme. Today, our services extend beyond boat trips to cultural tours in Türkiye and abroad, travel arrangements and visa application support.

Our mission and vision

We aim to make each journey a comfortable, carefully planned experience. Reliability, clear communication and attention to our guests’ needs guide our work, from the first enquiry to the end of the trip.

We seek to grow responsibly in the North Aegean and the other destinations we serve, supporting the local economy and respecting natural and cultural heritage.

Our priorities and values

  • Guest care: We place our guests’ expectations, comfort and safety at the centre of our services.
  • Honesty and transparency: We value clear information in our relationships with guests, partners and colleagues.
  • Respect for people and nature: We support responsible tourism and the protection of the marine environment.
  • Continuous improvement: We develop our services as travel needs and technology evolve.

Our priorities include developing cultural, food and sea travel experiences around the Aegean and the Greek islands, particularly Lesvos, and introducing visitors to the bays, history and culture of Dikili and its surroundings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Founded in 2017 in Dikili, a shining star of the Aegean, Güven Turizm quickly became one of the leading travel agencies that sets the direction of regional tourism. At the foundation of our company lies our founder's deep passion for the sea, maritime culture, and the Aegean geography.

Our journey began with our first step alongside Bahar Güven, our custom-built gulet, one of the finest examples of traditional wooden craftsmanship. Our sincere, quality, and safety-focused service approach with Bahar Güven quickly earned the appreciation of both the local people and the domestic and foreign guests visiting the region.

In line with the comprehensive modernization and investment move we carried out in 2024, we added the Güven Tur, featuring a modern steel hull, to our fleet. This strategic step not only increased our operational service capacity but also took the comfort standards we offer in sea tourism to a new level.

Today, Güven Turizm has grown beyond being just a sea tourism business into a corporate structure offering end-to-end solutions across every area of the travel industry, from domestic and international cultural tours to visa consultancy.
