Regular Travel In Konya City
By overnight bus from Istanbul to Konya for an educative travel. Full day travel in Konya city highlights; Alaaddin Mosque, Mevlana Museum, Karatay Madrasah.
Itinerary
Catalhoyuk, which is the oldest and most advanced Neolithic era settlement found near Konya. Catalhoyuk was inscribed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Catalhoyuk gives us so many hints about life in the Neolithic Age about 9,000 years ago. It tells us about trading habits, burial practices, religion, tools used, clothes made, and built homes, arranged back-to-back without doors or windows much more. After Catalhoyuk, we will drive to Konya city. Konya is the less well-known city in Turkey: In ancient times, the city used to be named “Iconium”, which means “Holy Depiction”. Also, Konya is the home of the Whirling Dervishes, a religious order founded by the Sufi (Muslim sage), Mevlana in the 13th century. This is a cultural and philosophical experience which given the chance, no visitor to Turkey should miss. On this tour, you will visit Catalhoyuk, Butterfly Garden, Konya Panoroma Museum, Aladdin Hill, Mevlana Tomb, and Konya Archaeological Museum.
- Starting Points: Turkey/Istanbul
- Route 1 Mevlana Museum
Konya, one of the leading cities of culture and faith tourism, offers a unique travel experience to its visitors with its peaceful atmosphere. You can follow the traces of Rumi (Mevlana) in Konya and feel the spirituality to the end. One of the oldest settlements in Turkey, the city has been home to many civilizations. In this way, the city is frequented by thousands of travellers with its rich historical and cultural values dating back centuries to the present day. Konya, which is one of the cities worth seeing with its mosques, shrines and museums, is a pleasant sightseeing stop. The Mevlana Museum and Mausoleum, which opened its doors in 1926, is the place where the tomb of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, one of the important figures in Anatolian history, is located. The fountain, mosque and Whirling Dervishes House in the tomb were built during the Ottoman period. The building, which has effects from the architecture of the Seljuk period, is one of the tourist stops throughout the year.
- Route 2 Karatay Madrasah
Karatay Madrasa, which is used as Konya Tile Works Museum, was built in 1251 by Emir Celaleddin Karatay during the time of Seljuk Sultan Izzeddin Keykavus II. On the main door, which is a masterpiece of Seljuk period stonemasonry, inscriptions related to the construction of the madrasa, and selected verses and hadiths on the other surfaces have been embossed. The tomb of Celaleddin Karatay in the southwestern cell of the madrasa is located. Karatay Madrasah, which has an important place in Anatolian Seljuk period tile work, was opened to visitors in 1955 as the "Tile Works Museum". Tiles and ceramics belonging to the Seljuk, Principalities and Ottoman periods, especially Kubad-Abad Palace tiles, plaster ornaments, cabinets, china plates and oil lamps are exhibited in the museum.
- Route 3 Sircali (Full Grain) Madrasah
It was built by Bedreddin Muslih in the period of Seljuk Sultan Gıyâseddîn Keyhüsrev II in 1242/1243 for Islamic jurisprudence scholars and students acting according to the Hanafi school. Traces of the Turkish architecture of the period are clearly visible in the structure of Sircali Madrasa. Cut stone and rubble stone were used in the historical building, which has an open courtyard, two iwans and a two-storey madrasa. The building, which was used as a madrasa until 1924, also impresses with its architecture.
- Route 4 Alaaddin Hill
The hill, which was built by Sultan Alaaddin by demanding land from the public instead of a tax, is in the centre of the city and Keykubat Mosque is located on it. The perimeter of the hill is considered to be the world's largest roundabout. The hill was used as a settlement in Roman, Byzantine and Seljuk times.
- Route 5 Konya Archaeological Museum
Konya Archeology Museum, located very close to the centre of Konya, is visited especially for the abundance of artefacts found in Catalhoyuk, although it is a small museum. Although there is a lack of information in the museum, these works must be seen during your visit to Konya.
- Route 6 Ince Minare (Thin Minaret) Museum
The Ince Minaret Madrasa, built-in 1264, is shown as one of the most beautiful examples of Seljuk stonework. The madrasah, which was repaired in 1936, was opened in 1956 as the Museum of Stone and Wooden Works. In the museum, it is possible to see many original stone and wood pieces belonging to ancient times.
- Route 7 Catalhoyuk Ancient Site
Catalhoyuk Neolithic City, which witnessed important social changes and developments such as the beginning of agriculture and hunting, with the transition to settled social life, which is an important stage in the development of humanity, is located on an area of approximately 14 hectares in the Southern Anatolian Plateau. The longer East Mound of Catalhoyuk Neolithic City, which consists of two mounds, consists of 18 Neolithic settlement layers dating between 7400 and 6200 BC. There are murals, reliefs, sculptures and other artistic elements symbolizing social organization and transition to settled life in these layers. The West Mound, on the other hand, shows cultural characteristics belonging to the Chalcolithic Period, dated between 6200 and 5200 BC. With these features, Catalhoyuk is also an important proof of the transition from villages to urban life that existed in the same geography for more than 2000 years. The settlements in Catalhoyuk have a unique feature with adjacent houses that are entered through roofs and no streets. Although other Neolithic sites have been found in the Middle East and Anatolia, the Neolithic City of Catalhoyuk is of outstanding universal value due to the size of the ruins, the density of the Living Community, strong artistic and cultural traditions, and the unique combination of continuity over time.
