Konya: What to see in the surroundings?

What our travelers think about their stay

Timothée D.

Seasoned Traveller

In the center of Anatolia, balanced between tradition and modernity, Konya is an interesting town.

My suggestion

Every year, around the middle of December, Konya is the site of the Mevlâna festival, which is dedicated to the whirling dervishes.

Konya is an important center for the Sufis. And of course the order of the whirling dervishes was founded here.

My suggestion

Most visitors who come to Konya only visit the Mevlana museum. But the town has lots more to offer (old mosques and madrasahs, parks, gastronomy, etc.). So don't be afraid to spend a little time there.

Konya, a religious town that is the home of the whirling dervishes.

My suggestion

You should visit Konya, especially for the surrounding countryside.

Associated with a rich, ancient history, the diverse geological and archaeological particularities definitely make this village a place to visit. You must visit Hasankeyf as quickly as possible, because a dam project will soon completely cover this little gem.
