Visit the Mevlana Museum in Konya
Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia were added to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1985. Discover these natural wonders on a 3-day professionally guided tour, choosing from Alanya, Side, and Belek departures. Cappadocia, located in eastern Anatolia, boasts a unique historical and cultural heritage. In addition, the landscape of the region's Devrent, Paşabağ, and Pigeon valleys is characterized by unusual fairy chimney formations. Millions of years ago, 3 of Cappadocia's mountains were active volcanoes. Volcanic eruptions and erosion of the tuff layers of volcanic ash created the formations you see in the area today. During this excursion you'll come across a wide variety of fairy chimney shapes, ranging from conical, pointed, and columnar to hat and mushroom-shaped. Visit an underground city and the Göreme Open Air Museum, which features over 30 rock-carved churches and chapels, dating from the 9th to the 11th centuries, and many with interior frescoes. Your guide will take you to the Mevlâna Museum in Konya, the mausoleum of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi. The site was also the lodge of the Mevlevi order of whirling dervishes. If you like you can choose to see a whirling dervishes show (not included in the tour price).

Overall ok, driver Tolga very professional, guide Olga less. It seems like we could see a lot for so long, but we returned to the hotel very early. The hotel was very positive, the food was ok, only in complete trouble and there was nothing to do in the early evening. I was disgusted with the fact that despite having paid most of the attractions (apart from the balloon flight, of course), the guide demanded additional fees for various attractions, as if small amounts, but the disgust remained. And finally begging for tips ... But that's normal in Turkey
