One of the most
magnificent points of Travel to Turkey is Konya which is the city
of the dancing (whirling) dervishes. The Mystic and Philosopher
Celaleddin Rumi has established the Mawlawiyah Order in the 13th
century and has introduced the sophism to his followers. The philosophy
that he used to teach to the human beings was the love of God and
the love of People.
After a nice trip over Toros (Taurus) Mountain chains covered with
dense forests, we shall arrive at the city centre in the noon. First
of all, we shall visit the renowned Mevlana Museum which had served
as a monastery to the dervishes. In the afternoon program, we shall
visit an Ottoman Mosque and the Karatay Medrese which had been used
as a school of Koran in the past. We will have enough time to visit
the local bazaar as well. You will be able to recognize the people,
the country and the understanding of Islam in Turkey by means of
this Konya travel.
