HELLO, KONYA

Seljuk heritage to early settlementsWelcome.

The Mevlânâ Museum and Seljuk monuments form the heart of a visit to Konya. Sille's historic settlement and the archaeological heritage of Çatalhöyük reveal different periods. Combine the city centre with surrounding sites for a visit spanning several days.

From around the Mevlana Museum to Seljuk heritage, Konya allows you to fit different periods into the same trip. Add a separate discovery for another stop in Beyşehir or districts next to the time you set aside for historical structures in the center. In the wide geography of the city, district selection requires considering vehicle delivery and travel plan together.
