The church was built in 1910 by Assomptionistes priests who provided religious assistance and support to French technician families who had worked there for many years. Built in the Gothic style, it is the only church remaining in the city among many others. The others were destroyed or converted into mosques as the Christian community dwindled.

    5. Catalhoyuk Neolithic City

      When a family's life ended, the house was filled with earth and a new one was built on top. The continuous construction of new houses resulted in the formation of a mound that is now 21 meters high. Eighteen building layers have been unearthed on the mound. The building materials used were adobe, wood, and reeds. The roof covering is clay soil compressed over reeds. The houses are unique historical structures, and access to the house is via a ladder through a hole in the roof. Each house consists of one room and a storage area. The rooms contain rectangular hearths. The walls are plastered, painted white, and then decorated with paintings in shades of yellow, red, and black. It appears that original bull, ram, and deer heads were preserved in compressed clay and appliquéd to the walls.

In front of the mihrab, which is decorated with tiles, is a dome of the maksura, also decorated with tiles.

    Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Goreme.

    How much does Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $286 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Goreme usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Goreme is not rushed.

    Is Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Goreme, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Goreme can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Goreme and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cappadocia to Mevlana Konya and Dervish Culture Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Goreme within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Goreme?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Goreme experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Red (North) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and tickets, Green (South) Tour Cappadocia (small group) with lunch and ticket, Cappadocia Green Tour - Classic Route (Popular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Goreme?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Goreme?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
