Click here for my page with very many Turkish cities

One of those "must see" cities. Famous for the burial site (and thus place of pilgrimage) of Mevlana, but otherwise also a rich city, full of great mosques, many of them from the Selcuk period. Some wonderful museums, nice people. Very religious, but it never bothered me.

KONYA

Mutlaka görülmesi gereken şehirlerden biri. Mevlana’nın kabristanıyla ünlü (bu yüzden dini ziyaretlerin yapıldığı bir yer), ama bunun dışında da zengin bir şehir. Burası, birçoğu Selçuklu döneminden kalma olağanüstü camilerle dolu. Harika müzeler ve hoş insanlar. Çok dindar bir yer ama beni hiç rahatsız etmedi.
Türkçe çeviri: Melek Emir. Katkılarından dolayı teşekkür ederim.

Sir, You have captured wonderful details, thank you very much. Konya is indeed one of the most religious cities in Turkey, but they are not as easily offended as in other regions and are truly kind people. If you visit the city once more, may I recommend Sille? It is an old small town very close, in fact it has become a suburb of Konya. There you will find and old abandoned mosque, converted from a church, which was once a pagan temple. And the still occupied cave houses you may find interesting as well. Kind regards,

Guest		09-Jan-2008 08:34
Very nice pictures. Congratulations. You can find more informations about Mevlana and the ceremonies visit the page www.mkm.gov.tr . There are very much other historical and culturel places near of Konya which can be visited by daily tours. Come and enjoy it.

Dick Osseman		25-Jun-2007 12:02
To me museums are very important. And with the great Selcuk things they have ýn that cýty that is an ýmportant reason why i went to see it. But maybe someday i may show some more (old or new pictures) Konya.

Guest		24-Jun-2007 23:39
you don't show anything about the city. for you, only museum is life?

Özden		20-Jun-2007 09:22
Dear Mr. Dick Osseman Thanks a lot for your effort ; and thanks for reminding me the beautiest side of Konya : the marvellous history of the city ; i was born in there and now living in another historical marvellous city ; Ýstanbul... Hoping you had find the chance to read about us and our history & culture before you visit ; then it is amazing for every humanbeing ; unfortunately photos or the buildings cannot talk at all... Pls keep in your mind to see the Archaeological museum for the next time ; it is a very big museum if you are interested in before Selcuk period... all my best

From Konya		17-May-2007 23:57
Hi, I was born in konya. The pictures are nice, however I have some comments on the pictures on Konya Kids. The kids seem to be from financially limited families. Anyone who has no idea on Konya may feel that most of the kids are living in such conditions. Obviously it is not true. It would be good to have some explanations on those pictures. It is like taking some pictures of poor kids from Harlem and presenting themas kids in Manhattan. Thanks

I like your preperation very much and I'm planning to use this page as a resourse to our foreign students who are going to come to Turkey from abroad for comenius 2.1 REBELS project. It is an international project and I am sure this page will be very useful for them. I like the pictures very much and I am planning to make them visit those places and it will be so nice to show them these photos before they come to Turkey. Tuba

Guest		14-Jul-2006 20:22
Poor work. Here is an old capital with lots of buildings. Its name is derived from Iconia. Iconia was a famous Pagan city. So you lost very much.

Rivergirl		07-Jun-2006 07:27
I just met one guy, whos family lives in Konya. That's why i had to find something knowledge about Konya.It seems so pretty and interesting place. I just love history and museums. Thank You for those pretty pictures!

Dick Osseman		22-May-2006 18:45
Hi, Ps or what's your name, Are they still paintballing in Konya? I mean, it is 36 years since James Hale of Daisy Manufacturing invented the gun, and I remember playing it in the mid 80's. I thought people would have thought up something new, but well, this is good old-fashioned Konya of course. I try and keep my lenses clean, so ... I didn't write the city is small, but I found many of its suburbs depressing, and it's traffic just horrifying, so I concentrated on the centre, and by habit I concentrate on things that have some culture attached. . As I wrote on many occassions, shopping centres in my mind are hell on earth, fit for a thoughtless kind of consumerism that seems to give the Ps's of this world a sense of belonging, of culture even. A colleague described today his experiences in Shanghai and Peking, cities that also seem to want to throw their history out of the window as fast as they can. Now those are big cities .....

Ps!kozY		22-May-2006 14:20
I don't like that, I'm living in Konya but Konya isn't a small city. You can see very beautiful places. Shopping centers, paintball courts, parks etc. I mean we aren't living 1980s Bunu sevmedim, Konyada yaþýyorum ama Konya küçük bir þehir deðil. Çok güzel yerler görebilirsiniz. Alýþveriþ merkezleri, paintball sahalarý, parklar vs. Kastettiðim þey 1980lerde yaþamýyoruz

Merhaba.önemli ve güzel bir eser meydana getirilmis.bize sadece tesekkür etmek kalir.basarilar dilerim...

Gülþah Çalýþ		05-May-2006 19:52
Everyone should visit Mevlana Museum and also try to understand the philosophy of Mevlana and Hz. Þems. And it's a pity that if they don't feel anything inside, photos are good but can't reflect the sense of the Sufism so first of all you should be there by yourself and feel it, deeply inside. I tried and was a good experience:)

thanks for everybody they studied for these pictures. but I thýnk this work is limited for konya. because konya is a very big city and has people from every society. however you have used only pictures of mevlana two of museums and a few children and they have not almost any clothes or shoes. konya is not only these pictures. thanks

Guest		12-Apr-2006 05:51
