Top 50 things to do and attractions in Konya

One of the high point of my trip to Turkey. Honoring the Sufi religion and Rumi at the Mevlana Museum and Mosque. Cleansing in the water of life after visiting Rumi's burial site. The Mevlana Jalaluddin-i Rumi Mosque is magnificent. Sufism is a mystic body of religious practice found within Islam which is characterized by a focus on Islamic purification, spirituality, ritualism. Although Sufis were opposed to dry legalism, they strictly observed Islamic law and belonged to various schools of Islamic jurisprudence and theology. A day never to be forgotten .

One of Turkey’s most iconic and spiritual sites. This is the resting place of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, the famous Sufi poet and mystic. The museum preserves manuscripts, ceremonial garments and artifacts from the Whirling Dervishes, while the turquoise conical dome makes the building instantly recognizable. A deeply meaningful and historic place absolutely worth a visit.

Here lies one of the biggest inspirational poets of all time whose thoughts have enlightened the many souls. The museum is inside the complex, which houses Rumi's tomb. You get to learn about the life of disciples during the life of Rumi and the way things worked in 13th century.

This place is a huge deal for those who have enjoyed Rumi’s poems and deep thoughts at least once. It is free and no need to buy tickets. It is divided into doors (babs) and separate parts to roam around like the main museum, tombs, and poems and photos. No recording with flash but normal one is ok. Those who know persian can also read the scripts and poems that are everywhere. The garden part is also enjoyable for sitting or drinking coffee.

Beautiful museum where Rumi taught his views and received his mentor Shams. The museum holds Rumi's tomb and the history of Mevlevi Order. Do not get intimidated by the massive amount of people there. If you read Rumi and follow him, whatever your religion is, find a place to sit near his tomb, close your eyes and meditate.

Beautiful! Great place to learn about Rumi and the Sufi religion. It was pretty crowded, but you could move through at your own pace. Great place for people interested in history.

An amazing museum—perfect for those who love exploring museums and for anyone eager to learn more about Islam.

Wonderful museum! Not too big but they have really interesting items I've never seen before. There could be a bit more explanation in English but if you're interested in history and ancient things you should definitely not miss it. Also, it's free! (Keep in mind that they don't have a toilet.)

Small, amazing, super fascinating old museum with extraordinary relics from Greek-Roman times and especially from the nearby Neolithic towns. To be visited! It’s free!

Such a nice museum to visit and it’s totally free. Felt in love with the frontyard and the ruins especially the one for poseidon. It is central and easy to eccess.

Small museum with great exhibits, specially the sarcophagus. The Hercules Sarcophagus describing the 12 works that Hercules did is incredible. You can see also different styles (for example if it has columns in the corners of the sarcophagus). There is not much infornation on some of the exhibits though. Free entry.

Worth the time to wander and see study what this little 💎 of a museum (free entry btw!) has to offer—some 9000 years of history! The 12 deeds of Heracles sarcophagus is gorgeous as well as the collection of lion sculptures outside and some of the Catalhoyuk finds as well!

It's a small but free archaeological museum that is worth visiting. It contains exhibits from local prehistoric settlements and Roman Empire. I was surprised to see a Sarcophagus of Heraclees here.

Free entry, amazing Neolithic exhibit with Catalhoyuk artifacts

The Konya Tropical Butterfly Garden is straight-up like walking into a living watercolor painting. The second you step inside, you’re hit with warm, earthy air, layers of green everywhere, and butterflies just casually floating past like they own the place. It’s humid (like South Asian Summer humid), so definitely dress light and bring water, your skin will glow like never before in what feels like a tropical escape right in the middle of Konya. The glass dome itself? Stunning. It lets in soft natural light that bounces off vibrant wings and tropical leaves, perfect for photos but also just super calming to look at. They’ve recreated a whole ecosystem inside, with 40+ butterfly species from across the world flying freely around you. If you stand still long enough, one might even land on you! I literally held my breath hoping it would but that didn’t happen, one did land on my friend though! What I loved most is how clean and thoughtfully designed everything is. You don’t just walk through and take pictures , there are signs explaining butterfly lifecycles, and you can actually see some emerging from cocoons. It’s peaceful, quiet, and kind of magical. Whether you’re going with friends, solo, or on a soft-date vibe, it’s 100% worth the visit. Staff are friendly, tickets are affordable, and the whole experience is unforgettable.

Konya Tropical Butterfly Garden is a magical place. The atmosphere is calm and full of color with natural sounds. Hundreds of butterflies flying freely make you feel close to nature. A must-visit place in Konya — peaceful, clean, and perfect for photos and childer

You MUST go to this place. You will see a lot of beautiful flowers, very many different types and vibrant colourful butterflies. The entry fee is cheep too. Inside is a little bit humid and hot but shouldn't bother you too much. I absolutely loved it.

The tropical butterfly garden is great place to visit with your children. You need at least 45 to 60 minutes to make sure your child can read and learn about butterflies and other bugs. They ask you if you want a photo at the entrance but finally they sell it to you, they should have told us that it wasn't free.

Great place to see many butterflies and green plants in Konya. Quite hot and humid because adapting with the tropical climate

Great place to see butterflies up close. Very informative.

The largest and oldest butterfly garden in the region. Great and wonderful work. The place is very organized and there are many and varied places to take pictures. There is an outdoor garden to sit and enjoy drinking coffee and tea, and there is a play area for children.

The park is at the centre of the Konya. 10-20 yrs old people hang up here. Many couples and students play! Alaaddin mosque is elegant and beautiful! You should visit here! Love the atmosphere and energy of this park

A hill and a park to enjoy view when there is no renovation around as barriers block the view. There are many spots to rest, take photo, places and buildings to enjoy their architecture especially the mosque, and the famous water fountain. Kafem brand belongs to the municipality where serves moderate prices items.

A peaceful park in Konya, its a good place to just chill. The park is clean, there are trash bins almost every corner, and because its uphill and there are trees, the ambience is cool.

The park is amazingly beautiful, it has all the things a park can have. People enjoy their presence here in this park.

It was a green big area located on a small hill. Alaaddin Mosque is also beautiful to visit.

Nice place to relax, walk and visit Aladdin mosque. Have a good view point all around.

Peaceful tree lined rose filled place to stroll and get views of the surrounding city and distant mountains encircling Konya

💎 this madrasa ended up being my favorite place in Konya (love Konya in general!). The colors and beauty of the tiled dome space really touched me—the city of Konya did a great service to humanity restoring this old place of knowledge.

Very nice place, very friendly people, we were expressed with the show and the exhibition.

Small museum but packed with lots of history, stone markings and tiles master pieces. Love the interior of the museum.

An amazing madrasa showcasing ancient tiles in an atmospheric location. The interior of the madrasa still has many of the original tiles. Also 800 year old fragments from Konya castle.

It is a good example of Seljuk architecture and a center of Seljuk science. It is a beautiful work that has mostly survived with its dome, interiors and decorations. During its active period, it was at the forefront of teaching astronomy and similar scientific courses. It is a beautiful madrasah that should be seen in Konya, I recommend it.

Beautiful museum in an old madrasa. The tile work in the building is amazing. There are some displays with artefacts, especially Selçuk tiles. Touristic admission was 60tl in December 2024

It was an okay place to visit. It is a shrine and a tomb for historical religious figures and there are some artifacts around the place. I especially liked the carving on the outside of the main door as well as the inside of the dome. Other than that is it pretty cheap ( i think 20 liras) and i was alone there.

This mosque is one of the earliest examples of Seljuk architecture. The date of the construction is estimated to be the very early years of the 13th century. The mosque has gone through renovations throughout the centuries but has kept its original design. This is an ideal piece to study the beginnings of Seljuk architecture. The mosque still functions as a place of worship and should be respected as such.

Amazing that a mosque could be built to look so much like a warehouse. Interior is certain nicer though. Compared to most of what the Seljuks were building during the 1200's this is a bit disappointing. Many of Konyas great monuments were built arou d this time. Looks to be heavily restored though so perhaps the exterior was once more ornate.

An unusual, plain building for a mosque. Only the single minaret is identifiable. Built in 1201 it’s has many columns inside so lacks the spacious, open feeling in domed mosques. It’s was also dimly lit inside.

Minimalism cami

One of the oldest mosques in Turkey (from the Seljuk empire times). Also has a unique acoustic dome area, used for ablution (outside).

One of the main masaajid in Konya for Jumuah it's old Seljuk style. What was amazing is the acoustic technology that they developed in the wudhu area a real surprise to this who don't take notice

Try the şadırvan (fountain) which has some acoustic easter eggs. Go there with a friend and surprise them by whispering to them accross the fountain. The dome is designed in a way that it transfers voice from a column to the opposite column.

There no any fee go inside this is free the place good there also cafe in the center park, this like miniature Japan Country ..

Nice place to hang out and chill. The infrastructure and design is really of Japanese way. They even have plenty of kois in the pond inside the park. There is also a restaurant where one can have a meal or snack.

I recommend you to visit. A Japanese park with a designer landscape, colorful trees, sakura trees, Japanese-style houses, ponds with carp and fountains. The garden was opened under the patronage of the Japanese Consulate under the auspices of the cultural exchange with the Republic of Turkey. Admission is free, there are parking lots, cafes and toilets. It is open even on official holidays.

This park was built in 2010 with the architecture of the Japanese gardens as Konya and Kyoto became sister cities. The park is designed in a very nice form and you can relax there while enjoying the setting.

I was on my way from antalya to ankara, and it was a great opportunity to visit this place. I loved how quiet and beautiful it is. Food and drinks are highly recommended, too. Maybe one negative comment, which is the lake water, needs to be cleaned. The wonderful fish they have there can be shown so much better then this

Nice thematic park ! Food was timid, but there was no English description and spice indicator. The dessert was so and so.

It is a lovely place for a walk, picnic and general chill. Many families were here eating in the many Japanese style wooden huts, and there is also a restaurant/cafe. We went to the Cafe, and I must admit the noodles and salad we ordered were pretty average for Turkish restaurant standards, so honestly I wished we brought food with us. The desert at the restaurant looked good though. Either way, the park itself is fantastic and it's free to access. The public toilets weren't the greatest though. But I am still giving it 5 stars as we had a lovely two hours here and it was very easily accessible by tram.

Very nice mosque. Old and beautiful construction built between 1259 and 1279

A beautiful historic mosque located next to the Konya Archeological Museum.

Best smelling mosque in Konya

I'm not an 'energy' person but this mosque is something

Beautiful wooden mosque that dates back to centuries ago recommended visit if you are in Konya.

Nothing special, the modern restoration is not nice. Has got some stunning tile work inside.

İ love this place, old but gold

Although it is pretty similar to the other madrasa north of alaaddin park, and the other one has more artifacts to admire, i give this one a higher rating because of the impressive architecture on the outside of the archway at the entrance door and the mineret next to it. Other than that, it is mainly just stones inside. The entrance is 20 lira so you can always check it out.

October 2023 The Mosque was closed on the day we visited and looked like it's been closed for a while. The carvings on the entrance are beautifully intricate. We stared at it for a good 10 minutes to take in the beauty. Accompanying minaret was strangely right next to the entrance. Mosque is adjacent to Kulture Park which is surrounded by hundreds of shops, restaurants, cafés. A very pleasant walk.

Amazing Museum , next to Aladdin park . Some great artefacts on display . Well done 👏 to authorities for the upkeep and keeping this rich history alive . Definitely worth a visit if you are in Konya .

Beautiful museum near Aladin Park, I'm in love with the architecture of this place specially the walls & enternace. There is a minimal entry fee which was 15 Turkish lira. Interior of this place is Amazing.

Love this cute museum! Loads of history and artistry. And the crafted wooden doors were beautiful 😍 museumpass accepted

Intersting collect ion, wished more explications about the Art. And translation of the arabic entry is 7₺

Great little museum with lots of artifacts from the area. There are especially a lot of artifacts from Alaaddin Tepe

It was a very fun experience for me to be honest. there was a lot of exhibitions for science branches all over the place. it's a must go place in my opinion. It's mainly a place made for children at core but adults or the teens can enjoy it too. 10/10 would go again if they add more stuff.

You can explore exciting features on science and tech. When you are in Konya, here is a must-visit place.

The ticket is so affordable the place are great, so much fun, there's a lot of interactive activities but unfortunately some of them are doesnt work recommended for family trip and student. Don't miss to watch the movie at the planetarium too🥳

I absolutely loved it. I took my kids there 3 days in a row while I was visiting konya. They had so much to see and do. I love the little workshops they have for kids where they sit in laboratories like scientists and adults help them make projects. They have great moon jump experience. The price is absolutely great just 7 tl per adult and 5tl per child over 3 years old.

A beautiful and futuristicly design scien r centre. Reasonable entrance fee and a great place to spend time with your children learning about the human body, natural disasters, mechanisms, astronomy and prehistoric inventions and advances especially in the medical world. A lovely place to visit overall.

Amazing place for kids and family … plenty of activities and informative stuff … kids loved it … staff very welcoming and accommodating

Very good place for family. The kids can learn a lot of things there and have fun.

The Sufi dance performance was a breathtaking blend of spiritual depth and hypnotic grace. It felt like stepping into a living portal of peace, unplugged from chaos, connected to something ancient and sacred. The whirling dervishes moved in perfect harmony, not just with music, but with a rhythm of the soul. It wasn’t a performance, it was a prayer in motion. Deeply respectful of tradition, yet surprisingly moving for a modern heart, the experience left me grounded, grateful, and awed by the silent power of spiritual devotion expressed through movement.

Every Saturday at 7pm SEMA performance, now it costs 250TL each for the ticket. We came here to see the whirling dervishes perform. This was amazing value. The whirling dervishes performed for about an hour and were accompanied by live musicians singing and praying. There were about 40 dervishes which creates a stunning scene when they were all whirling simultaneously. You do have to have a lot of patience, though, as it takes a long time to commence and finish the performance as there are several very long silent and spoken/sung rituals included. We were surprised to see children also are among the dervishes. Flash- free photography and film is permitted.

Beautiful cultural center in Konya built in modern style. There is a cafeteria and a small shopping market for handmade konyan memories. The huge hall where they perform the Sama every Saturday at 7pm fits about 3.000 people. I didn't have to pay anything to attend it despite the other comments below. The ceremony does seem to be fit for tourists but still worth it. The problem are the tourists themselves, very disrespectful, talking and laughing during the whole time, cellphones ringing, flahes from photos all the time. Very disrespectful. Try to sit far from big groups of tourists.

Wonderful venue to watch Whirling Dervish Sema. On a Saturday at 7pm it's 300 TL per ticket. About an hour and half performance. Good facilities and craft shops . Sit opposite to the sheepskin rugs for best view.

The cultural centre in Konya is a place where you can see the Sema performance every Saturday evening at 7:00. The place is very well maintained, and the performance hall is huge, which can easily house all the viewers. There are some very interesting souvenir stores in the lower ground which can be visited after the Sema. Note that they are charging 250 liras per person. Though it may be argued that the price paid will be used to maintain the place, I am unsure how it fits with Mevlana's principles of detaching the self from worldly belongings. The performance used to be free for many years. Unfortunately, Turkish authorities have started monetising Mevlana, which is wrong on many grounds!

Mystic Music festival is held every year in September. In 2025, attendance was free during concerts, every day was a different country: I really enjoyed Kazakhstan and France performances 🙌

The Sema performace shouldnt be missed in this cultural center. Its authentic and moving. The space is big enough for all who wants to watch.

This is probably the oldest mosque in Konya, the construction of which started in 1155 and continued till the early years of the 13th century. It has a very beautiful architecture and is an example of how the mosques were built during Seljuk times.

Nice place, big, very old (13th C) but still standing with today's expectations of services of any new mosque. Worth the visit. The surrounding is a good bonus of the visit.

Well.. it is a place you must see in Konya. But the problem is... We came in.. we read the Qur'an... And then this local guy who watches for the mosque and cleans it came and told us that we can drop some money 💰... Hah.. sorry, what?! He was like - hi, where are you from and etc.. And then BANG... You can put money in the box. IDK how it works but it was not friendly. Masjid is for Allah... Not for money

Historical and beautiful mosque. The inside of mosque is huge! You can see old pillar and great vibe in here. Very peaceful and not many tourist. Love this place!

It is the oldest historical mosque in Selçuk emperior period established by selcuk sultan Alaaddin Keykubad. The night view of this mosque is so lovely and pretty.

Grand 13th-century mosque in Konya's citadel, home to dynastic tombs & an adjacent flower garden. The famous mosque is now open after being closed for a long time for restoration.

A beautiful and very big mosque with a peaceful atmosphere and interesting history! It is located in the park which is also very nice to walk around and spend some time.

Beautiful building dating back to 13th century but it was closed when we went there on a Sunday.

I really enjoyed my visit to this old islamic seminary. The artwork and detail which went into placing tiles is beautiful!

Close for the moment but you can see a little bit of the medrese

Beautiful, but the gates were closed, so my view was of the courtyard thru the gates. Close to the archaeological museum of Konya

It was built in 1243 by Bedreddin Muslih, the vizier of the Seljuks. It is also known as Muslihiyye Madrasa by the founder of the building, which is known as Sircali Madrasah because of its glazed brick and tile decorations. The master of the master architect, Muhammad b. Mohammed et-Tusi. In the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, Hanafi fiqh and tafsir taught madrasah XVII. century began to be devastated, demanding cells XIX. century adobe rooms were completely demolished and used until 1924. The building, which was overhauled in 1943-1954, was opened to visitors in 1960 as the Grave Monuments Section of the Konya Museum. Mahmut Akok's project was taken as a basis and restored in 1969 by the Ministry of National Education.

Nothing to see, the museum seems closed, if it existed. Just a courtyard, a tiled ewan and a carved gate, same as in other two medreses. Waist of time, and it's in an ugly delapidated district.

An ancient building. It dates back to the Seljuk period, I think. Konya city center

(Translated by Google) I am taking a Quran course in this mosque. There are two very good teachers. Games like wrestling and football are played occasionally. It was a simple, nice, disciplined and fun course. The imam is very good, but unfortunately there is not much of a congregation. (Original) Ben bu camide kuran kursu okuyorum çok iyi 2 hoca var arada güreş futbol gibi oyunlar oynanıyor sade güzel hem disiplinli hem eğlenceli bir kurs oldu imam çok iyi ama cemaat pek yok maalesef

Take care, it is always crowded. It is an important spiritual experience, you have to try and read Fatiha for Mevlana Shams

What can I say? Once in a lifetime experience…. Very authentic and spiritual environment. I just wish there were better ventilation equipments during the hot summer days.

A very peaceful place. Most people don't follow the rules, they don't cover their heads when entering such places. This behavior is quite disrespectful towards Shams. I wish they knew..

There is a strong positive energy in shams tabrizi turbesi

Mashallah what a majestic place of great historical importance. Loved visiting this area. And you would feel even more good if you have read The Forty Rules of Love. May Allah bless this person and if you get the chance, do visit this.

Small mosque where the tomb of Shams of Tabriz is supposed to be located. However, there are similar burial places claimed by other cities ( up to 5), including one Unesco World Heritage place in Iran. According to contemporary Sufi tradition, Shams mysteriously disappeared: some say he was killed by close disciples of Rumi who were jealous of the close relationship with Rumi but according to others, he left Konya.

Wonderful atmosphere, very nice to sit in a corner and meditate. We left because the evening prayer started, but came back the next day to meditate again. Unassuming small building, particularly compared with the sumptuous burial site of Shams’ disciple Rumi. Shams is a bit like the forgotten Master

A very nice site however I wish that they took care of it a little bit more. I loved the tent where we could sit as a group.

A beautiful greenish place to enjoy and relax while in Konya. A touristic spot.

It is a one kind of park and picnic spot of meram district in Konya.

Wastages are inside the water. Water is dirty. Education is must!!! It has shady area where you cool down and drink cold drinks or tea with family.

Great place to go. Very reasonable priced

Nice. Öne of the beautiful place to be visited.

Peaceful place with awesome view

Great park! Well designed imitations for historical mosques and islamic schools around Turkey and abroad too! No public toilets though!

It's very intersting and funny park for children. I recommend this place for rest with family. An extremely popular area in Konya lately, Around the World in 80 Thousand Park is located on Dutlu Street in Meram Durunday Neighborhood. The park, which is called by this name because it was built on an area of 80,000 m², was put into service on April 23, 2014, on the National Sovereignty and Children's Day.

Superb park. Must visit for adults and children. Surely it will take u to a fantasy world with all its cartoon character. The dinosaur world is equally good. All turkish monuments and places of interests have been made into miniature models Worth a visit Time to see the park- depends on you and ur child's interest, roughly take 2-3hrs

It is a great place to visit. There is something to see for people of every age starting from miniatures of mosques or life size hulk and superman and dinosaurs. The cafeteria inside is not a scam and the prizes are near at supermarket level. I will definitely visit this place again in my future trips.

Great fun for the entire family. Amazing history and famous mosque replicas, beautiful animation characters, and realistic dinosaurs! We loved it and went for a birthday.

I wish we had more time, actually it was the heat, we are from Canada and it was a hot day for us, will visit again in Cooler temperatures, details on every model are amazing, a must see

What an amazing place for children & grown-ups! Theme Park! Highly recommended if you are in Konya 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

An absolute gem! Please visit, enjoy and marvel it.

Well worth the 50 lire entrance fee. The panorama itself was the best that I've seen anywhere. The models and paintings were also interesting.

A super wonderful place giving vibes of minäturk I visited this place on Sunday morning 🌅. There is no wait at all to enter the museum and the price for the museum is 15 TurkishLira . This museum has all the artifacts and models and panaromic view about Turkish history and about their culture and how wars were fought in olden times. Old machinery, and objects

The place is waawww, very nice the panorama view is exceptional, if we go back to Konya we will definitely visit this place again and again.

Beautiful learned a lot and everything was displayed nicely the painting were really nice to see takes you on a trip through history of shams Al deem Al rumi the dances are only on Sunday and Friday overall amazing place to visit must visit !!

This is a beautiful Museum presenting an excellent opportunity to learn a few basics of the life of Rumi and Shams. The cafe is super elegant with so much beautiful wooden furniture. A very cool and relaxing place to sit and read. I'm sure that Elif Şafak is pleased.

Dull museum with few exhibits, go only if you really love Rumi

It is a mosque that looks very beautiful with its magnificent harmony of blue and yellow. It is impossible not to admire its architecture. It is in a place where you can easily find it, very close to the center. It is 2 minutes away by walking from the Bedesten bazaar.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 stars) Kapu Cami in Konya provided us with an exceptional experience! This magnificent mosque impressed us with its historical and cultural significance. The architecture of the mosque was truly extraordinary. The intricate details, elegant minarets, and impressive dome all contributed to the captivating beauty of the mosque. It is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of Islamic art and architecture. Inside the mosque, there was a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The sincerity of the worshippers and the echoes of their prayers created an inner sense of tranquility. The spacious interior allowed for a comfortable and peaceful worship experience. The location of the mosque was also very convenient, providing easy access for visitors. The surrounding area was well-maintained, and the peaceful surroundings complemented the overall spiritual experience. Kapu Cami is a must-visit place in Konya to experience the rich historical and cultural heritage. The architecture and ambiance left us mesmerized, and we wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful mosque to everyone. Thank you!

A beautiful mosque in Konya. It another blue mosque! Inside of the mosque is impressive and peaceful. Wooden pillars are interesting. It makes different vibe comparing to other mosques.

One of the biggest mosque in Konya which is located inside the Bedestan bazaar in the Kapu mosque. The construction of the place dates back to the 17th century when Konya was the centre of regions studies in Anatolia.

This is one of the oldest mosque in kony. This place looks more beautiful in night time, It's different from other mosques because it is situated in market.

This is Mosque in the Bazar. A good setting place is also around the Mosque.

One of the oldest mosque at the heart of the downtown

The tile, wood and rug work was really interesting. If you like traditional colors and intricate tile work then this place may be of interest to you. Also, some of the rugs they displayed were extremely old and gave a sense of what life use to be like.

An unexpected bonus, just round the corner from the archaeological museum. Restored Sufi convent ( monastery?), Kilim collection, saints' tombs..

Nice little hidden gem in the blessed city of the saints. Not busy at all. There are handwritten Qurans and Islamic artefacts belonging to the sages of Islam who visited Konya. I believe there are also two blessed hairs of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ here also. It is free entry and definitely worth a visit.

Great museum showcasing historic Islamic art in an old Seljuk era madrasah. Well worth a visit. Make sure to visit the ornately tiled tombs in a small side room. The mosque connected to the museum is separate but also well worth visiting.

Nice little surprise we visited whilst going to the Archeological Museum around the corner. Would highly recommend a visit. Contains the Prophet (S) hair and other Islamic artifacts from around Turkey.

Very interesting 1200 century's art work .worth a visit.

It was closed for visitors.

Peaceful and family friendly place. The park is well maintained and families, students and elders enjoy park. Ponds and springs are pretty. Flowers are decorated. There is a small playground for kids and mosque. My family visited here twice during our 2 nights in Konya and those were great!

It is my every evening stop at the end of day.. beauty flora in the middle of ankara.. trees, sport facilities, restaurants and other attractions.. from there you can walk to beauty TUNA area and Attaturk street, and busy markets.. if you are close try YACOUB USTA just in the intersection between Tuna and marmara sukaks.. he offers 8 pieces of lahmajun ( meat pie) plus Salads plus yogurt ( ayran) for only 100 tl ( almost 3 dollars).. in the park feel free to interact and talk to locals.. i met a group of musicians super friendly spent beautiful timw with them..

The place is good there available to buy some food because there some kafe and there also mosque for prayer , clean toilet but toilet go down like toilet in Madinah this garden suitable for children or old people because almost are flat and no any difficult for walking , there many chair for sit ..

Lovely place to spend some quality time.

Kultur Park is a very big park in central Konya. Around the park, there are a lot of tram and bus stations and the place serves as a terminus for many lines.

Nice park with different things to do for young and older people. I loved watching the swans swimming and going into the small houses and protecting their eggs. There is also i public library and several restaurants and stands that sell snacks and food. There are benches to rest and watch people pass by.

Nice location for city dwellers to spend the day in leisure

Very beautiful park, for family and kids.

The most fun I've had at an amusement park in a long while. No lineups easy payment system and thrilling rides. The atmosphere of the park is also very nice especially at night time.

Its very nice.platz for children and toys.moviepark ...cheap for just 10 tl 10min. Small lake...there are platz to picknik

Had a good time here!

I didn't like the noise of the loud music playing in the center. I like it works until 1am so we had good time till midnight. Some lights didn't work and it was dark

it's a lovely place ...all places on konya is beautiful

Big park, contains a lot of stuff for kids and adults. But a little crowded and expensive. Not very tidy. Preferably take your food along.

Nice market area, You can chose fish from fish monger, they clean and grill for you Many cafe to get pastries and coffee Very cheap

Friendly staffs, lovely atmosphere, got two mandarin for free

Great place to wander and enjoy the local experience.

Locally grown fresh produce, sold with competitive prices. You can have a nice feeling of being in the open space farmers market place here.

Very crowded and expensive in weekend. Some people who sell product are rude.

Uğur is very nice guy. He knows what he is selling. Good quality perfect service!! Great work thanks))

Although there are swindlers but it's a good place for shopping. You should be careful

The problem is that the lake had no water.

Nicee

It is so close to the city center to have a breath...

In this write-up, I will not talk about the historical aspects of this church. You can read about this on the internet. I will try here to shed light on a few areas that might be important to prospect visitors. I visited this church in December 2023. It is evident that this place has been well restored and works are still on-going. The garden in front of the church and its blue-water fountain are beautiful. There is a place to park your car. At garden’s level, there are toilets and a security office. I was welcomed in English and was told that the entry is free. The Church looks majestic from the outside. Although the structure of the church is sizeable, you are only allowed to access its main hall. Some of the hall internals still require further restoration works while some others are in a perfect shape. The restored small piano is impressive. There is a person there who will hand you some brochures about the church and Sille, and a very useful touristic map of Sille as well. I did not get the chance to open a discussion with him but, reading other reviews, it appears that he’s available to answer questions and give explanations if requested to do so. The church is worth visiting. If you can, spend a day in Sille and visit its numerous attractions including this church. General note about Sille: Sille, also known as Sille Subaşı and historically Sylata, is a neighbourhood of the municipality and district of Selçuklu, northwest of Konya. To describe it practically, it is a peaceful village trying to find itself a place on the tourist attraction map. It does have some historical landmarks but seems to have been neglected in the past. You can now notice a serious effort by its Municipality to give it a new look, restore what needs to be restored, organize the streets and shopping locations, beautify the general look etc., in what seems to be a move to make it an elegant tourist destination. The efforts are noticeable and are moving in the right direction. I did enjoy a full day there and wouldn’t hesitate to visit it again if I happen to be in Konya.

Nice architecture and atmosphere. Just Interesting that there's a Muslim tour guide working in the church explaining the history to the visitors. Sometimes he's not sure about the traditions of the church but he's just doing his job as a tour guide.

The Mikhael or Grand Church is now a museum. It was closed at 11am Monday’s. It was built by Helene, mother of emperor Constantine during here pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 327. It has been renovated and exterior looks good

Saint Helena who is the mother of Constantine ordered this church construction after seeing this place during journey to Jerusalem.

The church was reconstructed, and although it's nice, it's also too polished and modern. No accent church vibe there.

Its situated in a tiny old village named as " Sille" few kilometers away from Konya city. It is a very old church from Greek empire and inside it is beautiful.

I love it

Tourist trap! So steer clear. Food is sub par, watery sides and a very small portion of etliekmek. We’ve been touring all around Türkiye (even the more expensive towns) and restaurants always give sides for free and if not, they are honest and give you the price. This restaurant gave us sides, did not mention it is not free (the sides were watery and wasn’t as fresh as we have had at all other places and for TL130!). Then when we wanted to pay by card, the card machine is supposedly not working (clearly a scam to get tips!). Such a bad meal for TL350. Not just that, we were asked where we were from, said South Africa and then the owner/manager made a very racist comment that we are not black?! Not recommended and left a bad taste in our mouth about their intentions with tourists visiting Konya.

Worst food we've tried in Turkey. Waiters are not paying attention at all. We waited over 10 minutes to be greeted on the table after arrival.

The worst place we visited in Turkey so far Don't go to this restaurant the service is very bad they don't like kids my 2 year old was running around their was one man with tattoo on his hands who was very rude and said something in turkish to his stuff which I didn't understand but could tell by his actions that he said something bad about kids and he had no humanity or heart for anyone we spent 3700TL he was not accepting card payment and was all most fighting talking in turkish probably swearing at the end i was sent to ATM to take cash out which was extra headache i gasse they were tex avoiding or charging us extra money because they had a card payment machine i saw it.the lady who served us was very nice i saw him arguing with her as well so he had no respect for women or customersat all. I will never go there again he was acting like a gangster in the restaurant so 0 customer service is wish I never went there in the first place.to the owner of the restaurant please take the tattoo person out of your business or you will lose more customers and money 😡☹️🥵😱🤬😡

The tirit was delicious but they didn't accept card payment, reason why I didn't come back.

Before I eat this, they showed the price is 70 TL on menu. But, after I ate this one and 2 small cokes, the price is 160 TL. It's a magic. They cheated me because we are foreigner. Actually all turkish people I've met is so kind and nice, but exception exist. Be the rich man!

Food of traditional having Taste awesome and worth to spending, suppleness outdoor sitting and Turkish tea made this feast more delicious. My recommendation is 10/8.5

The best pide in Town and the owner is very friendly !

Türbeönü Çarşıları is a lovely area to explore while in Konya. It’s located just in front of the Mevlana Square and Tomb, making it a very accessible and central place. The architecture is beautiful, and the atmosphere is peaceful and calm, even with many visitors around. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, with nice restaurants, cozy cafés, and small shops around. A great mix of culture and comfort in the heart of the city.

(Translated by Google) Türbeönü bazaar, where we came on Sunday evening; It was truly perfect. Everywhere is full of coffee houses and souvenir shops. It's really great. It is a historical bazaar opened by CB Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in 2022. I liked it very much and I definitely recommend it. (Original) Pazar akşamı geldiğimiz Türbeönü çarşısı; Gerçekten mükemmeldi.

(Translated by Google) After visiting the Mevlana Mausoleum, there's a large area where you can wander around, shop, eat, and drink. The municipality has truly made this place beautiful. The lighting, the pools, everything is beautiful, and you shouldn't miss out. There are also parking lots and free restrooms nearby. (Original) Mevlana Türbesini ziyaret ettikten sonra gezip alışveriş yapabileceğiniz bir şeyler yiyip içeceğiniz genişçe bir alan. Belediye gerçekten burayı çok güzel bir hale getirmiş.

(Translated by Google) It's a very peaceful area in Karatay, within walking distance of museums and mosques, with shopping, dining, and other areas. The project was jointly undertaken by the municipality and the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. The shops are spotlessly clean, and the shopkeepers are respectful. I'd like to thank everyone involved; I found it to be a great success. (Original) Karatay 'da, müzeler ve camilere yürüme mesafesinde, alışveriş ve yeme-içme alanlarının olduğu, çok huzurlu bir yer.

(Translated by Google) A place that can maintain its spaciousness even in such a crowded place. Shopping, tea, coffee, food and dessert places are nice. Shopkeepers are friendly. It is especially beautiful at night. (Original) O kadar kalabalikta bile ferahliğini koruyabilen mekan.Aliş veriş,çay,kahve,yemek,tatlı mekanlari güzel.Esnaf güleryüzlü.Gece ayrı bir güzel.

(Translated by Google) It's the only place I liked in Konya. If you're looking to buy a souvenir, it's a perfect place. (Don't buy the 'pişmaniye' (a type of pişmaniye) because I was scammed; it came back damaged.) Other than that, it has a very nice atmosphere and nice gift shops. (Original) Konya da beğendiğim tek yer. Hediyelik almak isterseniz gayet ideal bir yer. (pişmaniye almayın ben dolandırıldım bozuk çıktı) Onun dışında gayet güzel bir atmosferi ve güzel hediyelik dükkanları var.

(Translated by Google) It is a clean and beautiful park, the only problem is that it is very noisy as there are roads on both sides, and it is not a place I would always choose. (Original) Tertemiz güzel bir park tek sorun iki tarafı yol olduğu için çok gürültülü herzaman tercih edeceğim bir yer değil.

(Translated by Google) In my hometown of Syrians and Afghans, there was no place left to breathe and sit, unfortunately it was like a barn, not a park. (Original) Suriyeli ve afganlardan kendi memleketimde nefes alacak oturulabilecek bir yer kalmadi malesef park deyil ahır gibiydi

It was a very fun experience for me to be honest. there was a lot of exhibitions for science branches all over the place. it's a must go place in my opinion. It's mainly a place made for children at core but adults or the teens can enjoy it too. 10/10 would go again if they add more stuff.

You can explore exciting features on science and tech. When you are in Konya, here is a must-visit place.

The ticket is so affordable the place are great, so much fun, there's a lot of interactive activities but unfortunately some of them are doesnt work recommended for family trip and student. Don't miss to watch the movie at the planetarium too🥳

I absolutely loved it. I took my kids there 3 days in a row while I was visiting konya. They had so much to see and do. I love the little workshops they have for kids where they sit in laboratories like scientists and adults help them make projects. They have great moon jump experience. The price is absolutely great just 7 tl per adult and 5tl per child over 3 years old.

A beautiful and futuristicly design scien r centre. Reasonable entrance fee and a great place to spend time with your children learning about the human body, natural disasters, mechanisms, astronomy and prehistoric inventions and advances especially in the medical world. A lovely place to visit overall.

Amazing place for kids and family … plenty of activities and informative stuff … kids loved it … staff very welcoming and accommodating

Very good place for family. The kids can learn a lot of things there and have fun.

Here’s a polished version of your message: "Experience the serene beauty of the mosque and the soul-stirring recitation of the Quran. Kindly note that there are only **5 minutes** between the Adhan (call to prayer) and the start of the Salah (prayer). To ensure you’re ready on time, I recommend performing your ablution (wudu) before arriving. This will help you settle in calmly and join the congregation without rushing. May your prayers be blessed!"

The mosque gets its name from Sultan Abdulaziz, who commissioned the reconstruction of the original mosque, which was destroyed in a fire in 1867. The original mosque dated back to the late 17th century. The mosque is big and reflects the architectural motifs of the late 19th century.

Aziziye Camii is one of the most unique mosques I came across in Konya. Its baroque-style architecture really stands out, and the interior is absolutely beautiful — rich colors, high ceilings, and a calm, spiritual vibe. It’s not as crowded as some other spots, which makes it even more enjoyable to sit and admire the details. Located close to the Mevlana area, it’s easy to stop by while exploring the city. A great blend of history and beauty.

Thos mosque is totally different architecture with other mosques. I have visited many mosques during 5 weeks Turkey trip. Here is so beautiful and intriguing. Some kind of mixture of western and eastern. You have to visit here if you visit Konya. Don’t miss the bazaar near here and this mosque. Truly hidden gem!

The architecture of this mosque is very nice and the details are so good to appreciate. This is a free place to visit for tourists, of course you have to respect the place and the people praying. It’s within the market so definitely stop and check it.

One of the most underrated mosques in Turkey. First built in 16-17th century and then rebuilded by Sultan Abdülaziz in the second half of 19th century. Both interior and exterior engravings present rare examples of Baroque-style design, which makes it unique among mosques.

The Pertevniyal mosque in Istanbul was built in this way, from the Ottoman baroque architectural works, in the same way. it represents a more baroque view than the usual mosque image. Close to Mevlana museo

It’s one of those places where you go not just to eat but also to take in the salt lake. The food was excellent, and under different weather it would’ve been perfect for a wander. Unfortunately, the rain kept us from exploring too far—but even so, it turned out to be quite an experience.

An excellent place to stop for an other worldly adventure. Enjoy a quick toilet and stretch stop at Tuz Gölü, on route to Konya. We stopped by the lake, the second largest lake in Türkiye, 1665 square kilometres surface area is one of the largest hyper saline lakes in the world. It provides a unique and otherworldly landscape when the lake evaporates over the summer months. The gift shops are loaded with fun collectibles and the employees are extremely accommodating. Highly recommend this place.

Very Huge lake, we visited 2 days ago in the evening and it was super hot, they have service area which includes, Sovenier shops, Snacks shops, decent parking lot and washroom area. Nice place to spend couple of hours.

It’s fun to walk in the salt water. You can go pretty far out in the lake in this season. The lake is very beautiful. There is a very big gift shop. Entering the lake is free but the restroom and foot wash each charged 15TL.

It used to be better.. this was not the best time There was hardly any water in the salt lake it self & there was very smelly mud .. the salt was like stones this time .. normally it is softer & there was not much people Maybe the timing of the year was not the best to visit .. I am not sure Never mind .. I like this place & I will give it another try 🥹

Amazing salt bed which stretches for miles and miles ahead of you! If you dig into the salt water will pool out making it a great place to bathe your feet and such. The cafe on site has great food too and there’s a great shop to explore. Definitely worthwhile for anyone on a road trip in the area!

It’s a very special place, the water evaporates leaving behind a massive salt flat. The salt is a little bit pink but not as much as most pictures online. I definitely recommend it for a stopover if you’re traveling but it’s not really worth a special trip in my opinion.

A 700+ years old mosque that dates back to the Seljuk empire time. From the inside with the amount of wood used in its build, it looks special and different from others. There are graves for well known historian characters inside as well. On the day I’ve visited the mosque, it was insanely cold inside. I like the outer architect and the cone-like structure. It gives the mosque its unique and iconic shape.

While en route Konya to Antalya this unique Mosque made from Wooden pilliors is truly a pleasant surprise & one doesn't have to detour from the main route. Sita on the banks of Lake which is equally beautiful & a picture perfect destination. Eşrefoglu Mosque is a 13th-century mosque in Beyşehir, Konya, Turkey It is situated 100 metres (330 ft) north of the Beysehir Lake. History - Although his beylik was relatively an unimportant political power, the city flourished as one of the cultural centers of Seljuk world. In 1296, he commissioned a mosque in Beyşehir, one of the greatest mosques during the Anatolian beylik period. In 1302 he died and buried in a sepulcher next to the mosque. Notable thing is On 15 April 2011 the mosque was included in the list of World Heritage Tentative list. I really liked it Time Taken 30 Minutes Architecture Unique & made of Wood. Do I recommend Yes if you are driving down from this Route. Preetam.✨

Eşrefoğlu Mosque is a true masterpiece and a symbol of Turkey’s rich heritage. Steeped in history, this architectural marvel showcases the intricate beauty of Anatolian artistry. The mosque’s design, dating back to the 13th century, reflects the timeless craftsmanship of that era. Five stars for the exceptional preservation, allowing visitors to witness the cultural tapestry woven into the very walls of this historical gem. A must-visit for those seeking a profound connection to Turkey’s past

Stunning architecture from the Seljuk Dynasty. Very different from the other masjids/mosques in Istanbul. One thing I disliked is that women entered the mosque wearing extremely revealing clothes. There should be more enforcement at this mosque regarding this. May Allah SWT keep the masjids full, always.

Incredible please. Fantastic structure. Peaceful for religious people.

Eşrefoğlu Mosque is a 13th-century mosque in Beyşehir, Konya Province, Turkey During the last years of Seljuks of Rum, various governors of Seljuks enjoyed a partial independency. They established their own semi independent principalities named Anatolian Beyliks. Eshrefids (1280-1326) was a small beylik in center west Anatolia. After 1288, Süleyman Bey, the second bey of Eshrefids rebuilt the city of Beyşehir as a capital of his beylik. Although his beylik was relatively an unimportant political power, the city flourished as one of the cultural centers of Seljuk world. In 1296, he commissioned a mosque in Beyşehir, one of the greatest mosques during the Anatolian beylik period. In 1302 he died and buried in a sepulcher next to the mosque.

Eşrefoğlu Mosque is a 13th-century mosque. On 15 April 2011 the mosque was included in the list of World Heritage tentative list. The justification statements is "Esrefoglu Mosque includes all the main elements of early Anatolian Turkish architecture. The building is the biggest, best preserved wooden columned and roofed mosque in Islamic World.

This Neolithic and Chalcolithic 7500-5600 BC site has been on my list for a few years and further interest stimulated after visiting the Anatolian Civilization Museum in Ankara this March. The site overlooks the Konya Plains and is a pleasant 40 min rural drive south from Konya. It has a very interesting interactive museum, State of the Art, bookstore and cafe. Would suggest allowing extra time for the museum, it is amazing and exhibits are in English and Turkish. It is educational, great fun and wonderful introduction before walking up the short ramp to the archaeological site perched on top of a small hill.

I’ve rarely enjoyed a visit to an excavation site so much. We spent at least 2 hrs in the information centre. The information illustrated with animation and interviews was fantastic and very educationsl . Past , present and future connected. Thank you very much.

I am a lecturer in Design History. In 2024, I visited this place to explore and acquire relevant teaching materials for curriculum enhancement. Travelling from Sultan Idris Education University, Malaysia, I found the available resources and information to be highly valuable, offering insights that significantly exceeded my initial expectations. Dr. Ronaldi

Great place to visit for history buffs. Sadly the southern wing is closed due to ongoing archeological work. The replica buildings are fascinating. Downside: Most of the excavated items have been shipped to the museum in Konya.

Çatalhöyük is the best archeological site/museum I have seen in years. Modern architecture nicely blends to surroundings and on a sunny day this makes a perfect visit. It combines first section that is mostly educational and the second one that reflects these teachings and makes great understanding on how successful is the digging of this faboulous settlement. I was especiially impressed with the media explanations (i.e. animations, posters, interactive movies depicting settlers real life....) with artefacts, posters and diagrams that place Çatalhöyük in the context with the other world's archelogical great sites. Also world class are the replicas of the exteriors and interiors of the settlement's houses. Things to know Bring your own water and some snacks. One can easily spend 3 to 4 hours here and if the café is closed like today one is on his/her own. In short if you are in Konya this place is a must see.

Excellent museum and Neolithic site, which makes understanding accessible and entertaining. Staff very helpful and friendly. Cafe staff the same. We were surprised that, besides Egypt, there was no mention of Africa at all in the archaeological timeline ! Getting to the site is a bit tricky without your own car, and if you don't want to do the tour bus. We caught the Cumra bus from the local autobus terminal close to Mevlana Meydan, then a taxi from Cumra to Catalhoyuk. We caught a ride back with the tour bus at about 15.45, which dropped us off on Mevlana Meydan.

Solo traveller tip here: if you are in konya check the shuttle bus to the site, it's very convenient and ATM the only option to go there if you haven't a car. The museum is very nice and the site is breathtaking. You can't miss it if in konya.

Very important and must-visit place free to visit and you can feel Ataturk here♡♡

I like old and historical houses. It was beautiful.

Not much to see. Most of the rooms are empty only with some informative writings on the walls. Not much original stuff

Absolutely not worth a visit - nothing to see at all. No insight into Ataturk even.

Very small. Not worth going

As i am a Atatürk fan loved this place

Good preserved items

Fantastic experience very well done from KONYA BELEDIYESI IN TURKIYE BEST place. 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 I love ❤️ so much ❤️

A must see location if you're visiting Konya.

You have done my work without me. and you sent me my documents all the way to Konya, no one else can provide such a good service. you are the best in ankara

Nice place to visit

Wonderful amazing place. I recommend it to everyone. Easy smooth road and there is a restaurant with good service and good prices.

Very nice

Great👍

The coffee is amazing. All in a replica Ottoman style setting. Coffee is made using sand as a heating source and authentic porcelin cups.

A very nice place for a walk. They build it nicely like you are in the early years. Old houses, Osman style. Also a nice terrace to sit and have a drink.

Ecdat park looks like a little castle of the Ottoman Empire. The night view of ecdat park is the most beautiful that I liked.

A very beautiful and historical place

Wonderful park and you can buy a lot of things with local sellers.

The park was so good and so large and the place and the decorations was pretty cool

A nice place for walking around or spending time, near from intercity bus terminal

Very nice and tidy museum!

Worthwhile a visit if visiting the city.

Friendly welcoming staff. Warm.

Historical place

Nice old town

Ok

Super

An extremely good place to visit with very peaceful environment. The tomb of Mulana Roomi was a place worth visiting. Especially seeing the original calligraphic verses written in that era. The museum adjacent to tomb was also good and worth seeing. A highly recommended tour for visitors.

Best stadium in turkey, house of the giant konyaspor team... must watch a game there 🤩

Got invited to visit the Arena. Very nice and well maintained. Can’t wait to watch a game there.

Wish i could watch a match here.

Very nice stadium

The worst stadium ever that doesn't even a kiosk or shop that takes card. Me and my friend were thirsty for 3 hours because of that.

I'm Still remember when Türkiye against france 3 years ago in this stadium. with the final results 2 scores for türkiye and 0 for France. And after that, they played Ottoman legendary music to celebrate türkiy's Victory. I really feelt goosebumps at that time. Love Türkiye from Germany

3 in 1

School near by is a great architecture

Worth the detour.

Love it

cool

Beautiful statue.

Nothing special to see

A little off the beaten track by a sleepy hamlet is a cliff of soft rock carved into caves dating back to BC. They are a scramble across fields and unmarked paths to get to. If you like this sort of thing, they are amazing.

It's been said that this is where Timothy (Bible) is from.

Amazing place

(Translated by Google) Related to Apostle Paul's 1st and 2nd missionary journeys During the first missionary trip This is the place where Paul and Barnabas were raised to raise up people with physical disabilities who could not walk, and then preached the gospel to the people who worshiped the gods Zeus and Hermes. Lystra, the place where Jews came here and stoned us, almost killing us! Timothy joined in the second missionary trip. Lysedra, Timothy's hometown! Historic site of church revival in the Galatian region It is nice to see so many cave churches gathering together to worship and praise. If you look from the air, you can even see a cross carved on a rock.

(Translated by Google) Transportation is provided by turning right from the Hatunsaray entrance on the Konya-Akören highway and after 16 km, the road passing through Gökyurt village. Unfortunately, there is no road to the caves. You can go there by motorbike for 200 m. Afterwards, it is a short walk. The car can enter the same road, but since the villagers have planting areas, unfortunately you may not be able to leave whenever you want and you will be blocking the road, there is no room for maneuver. Visually, it varies from person to person. Naturally, the surroundings are quite beautiful. I will post a few pictures.

(Translated by Google) It's a historical site, described as Konya's fairy chimneys, located in the village of Göktürk. However, the roads are poor and there are no information signs. We couldn't find the way and had to ask the villagers. It says "kilistra" all the way to the village, but there are no directional arrows or signs indicating the actual attraction. If you go at night, there are no lights either. People who visit have written their names. There are no security measures. It needs to be addressed immediately before it disappears. There's a church inside. (Original) Konya'nın peri bacaları diye nitelendirilen ve Göktürk köyü içerisinde yer alan tarihi bir alan. Fakat yolları kötü ve hiçbir bilgilendirme tabelası yok.

Akşam üzeri giderseniz ışıklandırma da konulmamış. Giden insanlar isimlerini yazmış . Hiçbir güvenlik önlemi yok. Yok olup gitmeden önce biran önce ilgilenilmeyi gerekiyor. İçerisinde kilise var .

Best place for spenting time

Great place to spend time with family and friends with a great view of Konya city from the top.

Scenic drive, can see the whole city. Amazing food.

Very nice place.. i loved it

Wonderful sightseeing from the hill

The panorama from above is fantastic

Insha 'allah will come here one day that I will pray here and feel great

(Translated by Google) A museum belonging to the Karatay Municipality, depicting the history of Konya. It's an old building. It would be good if it were renovated. Among the places to visit (Original) Konya tarihini anlatan Karatay Belediyesine ait bir müze. Eski bir yapı. Yenilense iyi olur. Gezilecek yerler arasında

(Translated by Google) It is a nice picnic area, except that it is overcrowded on weekends. It's quite wide. There are too many camellias. There are few toilets. There is even a library. The slide track is very long and beautiful. But it's old. It needs to be renewed. There are also two buffets belonging to Meram Municipality. The prices are also very reasonable. There is also enough parking space for vehicles. It would be a great park if it had barbecue areas and fountains. It was already done during the time of Fatma Toru, a long time has passed. Maybe it will see a revision soon. (Original) Haftasonları aşırı kalabalık olması haricinde güzel bir piknik alanı. Gayet geniş. Fazlaca kamelya var. Az da olsa tuvalet var. Kütüphane bile var. Kaydırak parkuru gayet uzun ve güzel. Fakat eski. Yenilenmesi şart. Meram Belediyesine ait iki adet büfe de mevcut. Fiyatlar da gayet makul. Araçlar için de yeterince park alanı var. Mangal yapma yerleri ve çeşmeleri de olsa harika bir park olurdu. Zaten Fatma Toru zamanında yapıldı, üzerinden baya zaman geçti. belki yakın bir zamanda bir revizyon görür.
