Our Story

My name is Ralph ten Kate, Istanbul Travel Agency was born from a deep, personal love for Istanbul a city that captured my heart when I lived there with my family for three unforgettable years. I discovered Istanbul not as a visitor, but as a local strolling its hidden backstreets, watching the sun set over the Bosporus, and falling for its unique rhythm where ancient history meets modern elegance.

That passion led me to found Istanbul Eventz, through which we’ve spent over 15 years creating luxury weddings, private celebrations, and high-end corporate events in the most iconic corners of the city. With every event, we uncovered more of Istanbul’s charm its depth, beauty, and magic.

We believe that travel is not just about visiting a destination; it’s about immersing yourself in the soul of a place. Our team has lived, breathed, and explored every corner of Istanbul, uncovering hidden gems, luxurious escapes, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re cruising the Bosporus on a private yacht, experiencing the opulence of Ciragan Palace, or wandering the labyrinthine lanes of the Grand Bazaar, we craft each experience to match your desires.
