About Us
Our story began in Portugal in 2010, where our paths, like the intricate pieces of a mosaic, first came together. Tunca, a culinary expert, and Kaan, with a deep passion for hospitality, bonded over a fierce (and deliciously messy!) chocolate-making competition. Years later, a conversation about travel rekindled our connection and sparked a new vision. We saw a yearning – a desire to explore Turkiye beyond the tourist trail, to experience the vibrant culture and savor the symphony of flavors that make it unique.
From that shared dream, The Mosaic Compass was born. We craft unique experiences in Turkiye that blend history, hidden gems, and unforgettable culinary adventures. Imagine yourself haggling in a lively bazaar, learning a family recipe passed down for generations, or standing in awe of ancient ruins. The Mosaic Compass is your guide, ensuring every detail of your Turkish adventure fits together seamlessly, creating a lasting tapestry of memories. We can also assist meeting planners in finding the perfect hotels and venues for their events worldwide.
