The tour kicks off in the morning as a comfortable vehicle picks you up from your hotel in Cappadocia. Throughout the excursion, you'll be accompanied by a professional tour guide who will provide you with valuable insights and information about the places of interest. The journey from Cappadocia to Konya takes approximately 3 hours.
Konya, with its rich history and deep-rooted traditions, holds a significant place in the heart of explorers. As part of the renowned Silk Road, it is also known as the center of the dervishes. The first scheduled stop is the Sultanhani Caravanserai, an architectural marvel situated right on the Silk Road. In ancient times, it served as a hotel for traders passing through the Silk Road. The Caravanserai showcases the distinctive Seljuk architectural style and stands as an excellent example of that era's design. Your guide will provide a detailed description of the Sultanhani Caravanserai as you stroll through its grounds and explore the area.
Next, the bus will take you to the Mevlana Museum, the second stop of the day. This museum pays tribute to Mevlana, one of the most influential Islamic philosophers. A highlight of the museum is Mevlana's tomb, which offers an intriguing glimpse into his life and the significance of his work. Additionally, the museum houses a collection of artifacts used or created by the dervishes, including fabrics and calligraphy works.
The final stop of the day will be at Aladdin Hill, where the Aladdin Mosque stands. Constructed by the Seljuks almost a millennium ago, this place of worship is the oldest surviving building from the Seljuk Empire. In the outdoor area, you can observe the tombs of Seljuk sultans and remnants of the palace.
As the last stop concludes, you'll return to the bus for the return journey to Cappadocia. Take this time to relax and reflect on the day's experiences.
