Itinerary

Day 1

The TSG team will pick you up from your Istanbul hotel early in the morning and take you to the domestic flight to Konya, which takes about an hour. Upon arrival, your full-day Konya city tour will begin, exploring one of Turkey’s most spiritual and historical cities.

Mevlana Museum

Discover the legacy of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, the founder of the Islamic Sufi sect. The Mevlana Museum, formerly the lodge of the whirling dervishes, houses the tomb of this 13th-century spiritual leader. With its iconic turquoise-tiled fluted dome, it is the largest Sufi center in Turkey and a must-visit landmark in Konya.

Karatay Madrasah

Built in 1252 during the Seljuk period, the Karatay Madrasah is a historical theological school showcasing exquisite Seljuk-era tiles and architecture, making it one of Konya’s top cultural attractions.

Alaeddin Mosque

Visit one of Turkey’s oldest mosques, built in the 12th century by the Seljuk Sultans of Rum. Its unique columns of different sizes from earlier periods add architectural charm and historical depth.

Alaeddin Hill & Free Time

Enjoy some free time to relax and take in the views from Alaeddin Hill, where traces of Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman civilizations are still visible today.

The tour concludes with a transfer back to Konya Airport for your return flight to Istanbul.
