📍 Destination Overview
Konya sits on the Anatolian plateau of central Turkey, one of the oldest cities and a Seljuk capital. Known for Sufi mysticism and whirling dervishes, it was home to the Persian Sufi master Rumi; the Mevlana Museum, his resting place, is a pilgrimage site where the white-robed ceremony is performed weekly. Its dishes and the December Rumi festival add to its spiritual charm.
