Why we love it?

This full-day tour from Cappadocia to Konya offers a deep dive into Turkey’s rich Neolithic and spiritual heritage. The journey includes stops at the historic Sultanhanı Caravanserai, a notable example of Seljuk architecture, before reaching the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Çatalhöyük, an ancient proto-city dating back to 7500 BC that provides insight into early urban planning and agricultural development. After lunch in the town, the tour continues to the Mevlana Museum in Konya, where visitors can explore the mausoleum of the Sufi mystic Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi and learn about the Mevlevi order, known for the whirling dervishes. This experience combines history, culture, and mysticism, suited for travelers interested in archaeology, spiritual traditions, and Anatolian history. Admission to all Museums are included.
