The story behind the directory the Black Sea coast trusts

We built Kastamonu Escortt as a curated, verified, and discreet companion directory for the Kastamonu region — replacing the noise of unmoderated listings with one place locals and visitors can rely on.

Our Story

From a frustration in 2019 to a regional standard today

Kastamonu Escortt was founded in the spring of 2019 by a small group of local hospitality professionals and independent companions who were tired of the same broken experience: scattered ads on cluttered boards, broken phone numbers, no verification, no reviews, and absolutely no accountability. The Black Sea coast — from Kastamonu city to İnebolu, Cide, Abana, and Tosya — deserved better.

We started with a single spreadsheet of twenty-eight profiles and a promise: every companion listed would be identity-verified, every photo hand-checked for accuracy, and every listing reviewed monthly. Six years later, that promise is still the foundation of how we operate. Today the directory serves tens of thousands of discreet visitors each year and has become the most referenced companion resource between Sinop and Bartın — quietly, professionally, and on our own terms.

Mission & Values

What we stand for — every listing, every interaction

Three principles guide how we run Kastamonu Escortt. They're not slogans. They are the operational rules our moderation team enforces daily.

Verified, always

Every companion passes a four-step identity and photo verification before appearing in the directory. We re-check listings monthly, and profiles with outdated material are removed within 48 hours of a flag.

Discretion as default

No public activity logs. No data resale. Communications between clients and companions are end-to-end routed, and our server logs are purged every 14 days. What happens on Kastamonu Escortt stays on Kastamonu Escortt.

Real reviews only

Only clients with a confirmed booking token can leave a review. We screen submissions for authenticity, ban duplicate IPs, and require a minimum descriptive length — no spam, no paid reviews, no five-star farms.

18+ verification required. Kastamonu Escortt is an adults-only platform. All visitors must confirm they are 18 years of age or older before browsing companion profiles. We use a strict age-gate at entry and reserve the right to request government ID verification from any account that raises a moderation flag.
