Konya was once the capital of Sultanate of Rum, known in Turkish as Anadolu Selçukluları, a situation which resulted in much of the architectural heritage visible today. The Iranian poet and Sufi thinker "mowlana" or Rumi also settled in the city during this period.
Despite rapid growth in recent years, and the arrival of many students from out of town in the Selçuk University (Selçuk Üniversitesi), founded in 1975, Konya still retains the air of an Anatolian provincial town. Even though the influx of tourists from the west has increased considerably visitors are still left in peace, and do not have to suffer the hassles they get in Istanbul. On the downside perhaps is the fact that fewer people speak English (or any other foreign language), but the natural hospitality of the people of Konya usually makes up for that. Be careful with taxi drivers, who sometimes have no scruples about ripping off visitors to their city.
Konya is also one of the most conservative cities in Turkey with more women covering their heads with headscarves (though visitors will notice that the number of women covering is perhaps slightly above 50%). Dress modestly if you want to fit in with the local population, although not many people will bat an eye lid if you choose not to.
The city lies on a totally flat ground, with the sole exception of a small hill called Alaattin Tepesi in the very centre of the city-which is actually a man-made hill, erected during the Seljuk period so noble residents could easily watch the city below from their palace. Almost nothing remained of the palace and the hill now serves as the central park, which is a quite pleasant and shady one.

Turkish Airlines [url=http://www.turkishairlines.com/]]and Pegasus Airlines [url=http://www.flypgs.com/[/url]]offer flights from [[Istanbul[/url]] to Konya Airport (IATA: KYA, ICAO: LTAN), located about 18 km out of city. In the summer period it's also possible to fly from various [wiki=912d59cdf1d3f551fae21f6f0062258f]Europe[/wiki]an countries, such as [wiki=a67d4cbdd1b59e0ffccc6bafc83eb033]Netherlands[/wiki], [wiki=d8b00929dec65d422303256336ada04f]Germany[/wiki], [wiki=d5b9290a0b67727d4ba1ca6059dc31a6]Norway[/wiki], [wiki=424214945ba5615eca039bfe5d731c09]Denmark[/wiki]. The easiest and cheapest way to get to the city centre from the airport is to take the shuttle buses provided by Havaş, which takes around 30 minutes and costs 10 TL pp [http://www.havas.net/en/].

By train
Until recently trains constituted a slower alternative to travelling by bus or car. However with the new high-speed trains (Yüksek Hızlı Treni, abbreviated YHT) all that has changed, journey time from [wiki=9221413dd904c157938b397753a8b4bb]Ankara[/wiki] have been massively reduced to just 1:40 h. Although not offering the charm of travelling while enjoying the landscapes slowly changing on the other side of the window, these new trains makes it much more practical to reach Konya. As of now there are fours trains every day, however more depatures will be added in the near future.
From [wiki=0ef8f876d62a45352e28410454e3634b]Istanbul[/wiki], it is possible to arrive via new high-speed train or nightly sleeper service. High-speed trains leave [wiki=0ef8f876d62a45352e28410454e3634b]Istanbul[/wiki] twice daily, at 7:10am and 6:30pm, taking about 4 hours and 15 minutes to arrive in Konya. Fares start at 42.5 TL. Nightly sleeper services (via [wiki=d2acb662e2edb7ed821962041c5a66a2]İzmit[/wiki], [wiki=632bf6e4254a0fad039d56f8411d76ab]Eskişehir[/wiki]-Enveriye station, [wiki=10aeda2dfe374764e33eb14b208b262f]Kütahya[/wiki], and [wiki=7746550709c8fe582fca247288feae23]Afyon[/wiki]), the Meram Express depart at 7:40PM from Haydarpaşa station and arriving in Konya just before 9AM the following day. İçanadolu Mavi Treni departs later in the evening at 11:50PM and is a bit slower, not arriving until afternoon to make its brief stop-over on its way to [wiki=5520d9658f058d9f3ebbc9671bb09ae9]Adana[/wiki] (via [wiki=507ecfeae07c2374f7e07d25bed15aa0]Karaman[/wiki]). Fares starts at 35 TL for second class, 77 TL for first class sleepers.
Haydarpasa train station is currently closed and is not due to open again until sometime in 2015.
The Konya railway station is located in the suburb of Meram, some distance from the centre; it is easy enough to take a taxi from the station to the centre, but surprisingly some of the taxi drivers are not familiar with the locations of the main hotels. Alternatively it is about 30-40 minutes' walk to the city centre, given you don't have heavy rucksacks.
As all the rail works is not finished yet, expect (temporary) cancellations of many inter-city train services. There is usually a replacement bus waiting but there will be delays. Always check with the Turkish State Railways [http://www.tcdd.gov.tr].

By bus
Ther are a number of travel agencies on Mevlana Caddesi, Konya's main street, where you can buy bus tickets. The destinations they deal with are written outside.
Konya's bus station (otogar) has good connections to a wide range of destinations, including [wiki=0ef8f876d62a45352e28410454e3634b]Istanbul[/wiki] (~10 hours, 65-75 TL.), [wiki=87da1803d79be02847802fb26ee3f961]Izmir[/wiki] (~9 hours, 30 TL.), [wiki=9221413dd904c157938b397753a8b4bb]Ankara[/wiki] (3.15 hours, 20TL), and [wiki=0a895c64086fba7342e4364a4e4c10b6]Cappadocia[/wiki] (~3 hours).
When you are issued a bus ticket you will be told which gate at the station your bus will leave from; you need to be vigilant, however, as the buses sometimes park at another gate close by.
The bus station is several kilometres (7km) away from Konya's main sites of interest, most of which are located around Alaaddin Tepesi in the city centre. A number of minibuses depart from outside the bus station, of which some stop in or near Alaaddin Tepesi: these take about 30 minutes and should cost less than 2 YTL. Alternatively, Konya's tram line-which conveniently has a stop at otogar-terminates in a loop around Alaaddin Tepesi: this also takes about 30 minutes and costs 1 YTL per person.

In the city of Konya you can travel with the dolmuş minibuses, public urban buses (belediye otobüsü), tram or taxi. Most sites of interest, though, with the notable exception of the suburb of Meram, are clustered in the city centre and are walking distance away from each other. Via tram, though, from Alaadin (the heart of the old city), you can take the tram all the way to Selçuk University on the outskirts or the city and pass a few sites of interest (Japon Parki being one of them). The tramvay has close to 25 stops on it and from Alaadin to Selçuk University (the end), it takes an hour.

This must see tourist destination of Konya, is the tomb of the famous mystic/sufi/thinker Rumi (known shortly as Mevlana in Turkish, or with the full name Mawlana Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi in English literature), as well as the neighbouring museum that displays relics of his life and his time. The items on display in the museum range from old manuscripts, hand written copies of the Koran, Some Rumi's belonging and also musical instruments used at his time, as well as numerous art works dating from the Seljuk era. Don't bother taking the audioguide as it's very boring.
: Also interesting for the curious traveller, esp. for those looking for interesting photographic opportunities or a short walk through an authentic neighborhood, is the parts of the city that surrounds the Mevlana Museum. Since this neighborhood hasn't quite kept up with recent times, it still maintains an authentic feel from older days with narrow streets and houses of old architecture, almost with historic significance.
: Located 5-6 city blocks away from the museum, one can also find other historic buildings and mosques dating from the 12th and 13th century Seljuks Turks (the most significant one of these if the "İplikçi Camii").
* This old mosque dating from the 13th century was restored about 50 years ago and is still open for prayer service. It is a nice example of the Seljuk architecture to be seen in Konya, conveniently located b/w the city centre and the Mevlana Museum.
* İnce Minare is the remains of a 13th century madrasah (school) built by the Anatolian Seljuks. Located close to the city centre near the northern end of "Alaaddin Tepesi", this minaret and the surrounding small buildings today serve as a museum that displays various artefacts from the Seljuk and Ottoman eras. It is a popular tourist attraction, owing mostly to the noteworthy ornamental architecture which has been very well preserved over the centuries.
* This is an artificial hill that was built by the Seljuk Sultan Alaaddin Keykubat. Today it stands right in the middle of the city, and serves mostly as a park. Even though the small hill or the park on it may not be very interesting in themselves, the two places to stop by and see are 1) the Alaaddin Mosque, and 2)the remmants of an old palace with partly earthen construction located on the north end of the hill - this old structure is protected from the elements with a concrete umbrella.
* This is the district of Konya which lies somewhat away from the city centre, with lighter construction and more greenery. The name "Meram" also refers to the popular picnic area located in the farther corner of the Meram district. Near this picnic area there are a few historic buildings to see, some of which are the "Tavus Baba Türbesi" and the "Ateşbazı Türbesi".
* Just one piece of the Seljuk Alaadin palace. Built by Seljuk Sultan Kilicarslan II, restored by Seljuk sultan Alaadin Kekubad. In restauration-process (September 2012).
*A friendship park built in a joint cooperation between the municipalities of Kyoto, Japan, and Konya. Though the style *leans* towards Japanese, it's really more of a pan-Asian design. It covers several acres, comes complete with pagodas, ponds, small waterfalls, etc. It's a favourite for wedding day pictures. There's a great restaurant there (which supposedly funds the upkeep of the park) selling, of all things, everything from chicken and beef fajitas to traditional Turkish food.
*Saint Paul Catholic Church Alaadin Tepesi, between the Alaadin and Zaafer tramvay stations. It can be seen from the street. The lone operating church left in Konya. Built in the 1910's by the Italian railroad workers. Currently cared for by two happy Italian nuns. The church mainly cares for the spiritual needs of tour groups and the handful of Christian expatriates. Mass most Sundays between 10:00 and 12:30. Between May and September, there are services most days due to pilgrim groups nearly every day. Call for information: 03323536226 (Turkish mobile). Between the two, they can communicate in Italian, French, German, English, and Turkish, but to varying degrees. If you don't have a chance to call, just show up and ring the bell, one of the nuns is usually there to open the gate. Due to the locals' paranoia about the nuns being missionaries, they only allow Turks to visit from Wednesdays and Fridays 2:30-3:30 when services aren't being held.
-
Kule Site shopping center. You can also shop in the small streets of Konya where you can find a lot of clothes and presents for a low price.
* Alaattin Tepesi Go chill there.
* Have a cup of coffee at Meram (Aydincavus), with a sight of Konya from above.
* Fuar (the funfair).
* Visit Kapu Mosque and Aziziye Mosque each with different styles of minarets (towers).
*
* Highly recommended! A free sema (whirling dervish ceremony) is held at the Mevlana Cultural Centre every Saturday at 7PM (current in Feb 2015) taking one and a half hours. You don't need to arrange tickets in advance, but you might want to ask at the Tourist Information center right behind the Mevlana Museum in case there have been changes. The hall is very big so there will probably be free seats but it is recommended to arrive a bit earlier to allow time for luggage screening and a cup of tea. A lecturer from a local university gives an OK lecture about Mevlana in English at 6PM just before the ceremony. The ceremony begins with a long introduction in Turkish before the actual music and ceremony start. People say this is the closest you can get to a real sema. No flash photography or applauding during the ceremony (so as not to disturb the dervishes).
* Study Turkish Two of the four universities in Konya have Tömer (Ankara University approved Turkish language programs for non-Turkish speakers) programs.
1) Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi at the Karatay Kampusu. Coming from Alaadin, get off at the Kule tramvay station and take a right. Walk for several hundred meters until you reach the next main road and then take a left. Keep going for two to three hundred meters until you see the statue of the five or six dervishes at the round about - the university is there. Otherwise, call 03322362144. Make sure you call after 1:30 and listen to the recording before an employee (who doesn't speak English) picks up. Keep saying "Tömer" until they transfer you to a Turkish teacher who usually speaks broken English. Turkish is offered for $300US paid in Turkish lira per level (A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, A2.2, B1.1, B1.2, B2.1, B2.2, C1.1, C1.2). Each level is 70+ hours of classroom time spread out up to six weeks. Classes are offered in the mornings and evenings and start when there are 10 students enrolled. Passport holders of Arab and Turkic nations are given a 30% discount.
2) Mevlana Üniversitesi On the edge of town in Bosna Hersek, easily accessible by tramvay. Significantly more expensive than Necmettin Erbakan, only offers full time classes in the mornings. Cohorts begin at the beginning of the school year, though with 15 students, new classes will open up. http://www.mevlana.edu.tr/
*Work
Pretty much all the work available to foreigners in Konya is relegated to teaching English or subject teaching at a university in English. If you have some credentials (i.e. a BA and a CELTA/TEFL cert or a BA and some experience), you can easily land a job in a university making some hefty coin by local standards that allows you to live high on the hog.
There are four universities in Konya:
1) Mevlana Üniversitesi: private university located on the outskirts of the town. 2,000+ students. About a kilometer from Selçuk Üniversitesi.
http://www.mevlana.edu.tr/
2) KTO Karatay Üniversitesi: http://www.karatay.edu.tr/
Located in the downtown, focuses on industry and business.
3) Selçuk Üniversitesi http://www.selcuk.edu.tr/English/DefaultEng.aspx
This is the largest university in Turkey with about 80,000 students. It's main campus is on the edge of town, a kilometer far from Mevlana Üniversitesi
4) Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi:
http://www.konya.edu.tr/
Government university that was part of Selcuk University in 2011. They have at least two campuses in the downtown. They offer Turkish lessons to foreigners.

Trinkets related to Rumi (and whirling dervishes).
* Traditional Mevlana-candy (white with a mint taste).
-
Traditional local cuisine mainly depends on wheat/bread and mutton - the major agricultural products of Central Anatolian steppe on which Konya is situated.
Local delicacies include:
* Etliekmek - some sort of long and thin pizza (with meat or cheese) which can possibly exceed 1 mt in length! Available at a lot of restaurants in Konya.
* Havzun Restaurant Coming from Alaadin, get off at the Kule tramvay station and take a right. Walk for about 100-150 meters and it's on the left. Famous throughout Konya as the best Etliekmek. Two pieces of Etliekmek (each about 1.5m long) for 14TL. High quality food.
* Can Baba Coming from Alaadin, get off at the Nalçacı tramvay station and cross the street. All the locals know it, famous through Konya as the best place to get Iskender kebab. Two plates of Iskender, fresh künefe, soft drinks, and mezzeh for 30TL.
* Traditional Turkish/Central Anatolian cuisine served in traditionally decorated rooms. A nice view of Mevlana Museum and its garden.
* "Adana"-style kebab, grilled meat.
* Traditional cuisine.
* Traditional cuisine. Mostly lamb dishes. English menu with pictures available, prices listed on a separate sheet. Located in a renovated historical mansion. No alcohol served. Has a carpark in front. Previously known as Kosk Konya Mutfagi.
* The place is not used to tourist, the menu is in turkish only and the staff not fluent in english. But they are extremely helpful and friendly. They have tasty salads and meats. Try their thinly cut lamb in butter sauce. No alcohol.
*One of the delicious and famous restaurants of Konya. It's famous for with the special kebap Tirit.
* Fast food - Burger King, McDonald's and some other American-style fast-food restaurants, as well as ever omnipresent döner, are also available around the city.
-
The open-air café at Alaaddin Tepesi is good for a relief and some shade while watching the city during a summer day.
* Mevlevi sofrası is one of the best place that have panaronic view of Mevlana museum and gulbahcesi. You can have a drink with traditional desserts.
*Hotels: pretty much all of them have alcohol. If you're really desperate, though, head to Migros. There's one near the Bosna Hersek tramvay station. Simply cross the pedestrian bridge across from Mevlana University and you'll see it (Bosna Hersek Mah. Mesaj Cd 38/A-B, Bosna). At this particular one, the the alcohol section is so busy that they've had to hire a full time guard simply to watch that one section of the store - no joke. There's another Migros in Meram, mostly likely also fully stocked with booze (Şeyh Sadrettin Mah. Ferit Paşa Cd 12/A, Meram Merkez). There are also fully stocked liquor stores located throughout the city - one of the more easily reachable is in the alleys off the main road between the Alaadin and Zafer tramvay stations. A second one is off of the Kule tramvay station. Coming from the city center, get off at Kule tramvay station and take a right. Walk a few hundred meters until the next main road. Take a left there and you'll see it on your left after a couple hundred meters. A third option is just look for signs saying "Efes" while in the downtown. Contrary to what most people think, most Konyan men are fairly familiar with the bottle and a significant amount of women regularly imbibe, but doing so in public is illegal and announcing it isn't a good idea as a fairly large amount of Konyans like to appear conservative. Like most parts of Turkey and the Arab world, do what you like, but don't broadcast it to the world.
-
If you are an unmarried couple you may find it fairly difficult to book a double room if you don't have a marriage certificate. Mevlana Sema Hotel right opposite the Mevlana Muzesi doesn't require a marriage certificate.
-
Budget
A budget option in Konya. Wireless, air-con, free buffet breakfast, ideal location. The old building is very basic, a bit smelly, no heating, horrible bathrooms. The new building is fine. Reception is very friendly.
* A reliable budget option located in city centre.
* Dirty rooms (a paradise for ants), smells bad, but reception is nice. May want to avoid this place.
-
Mid-range
A 3 and a half star hotel. Nothing special about it except that it is literally across the street from the Mevlana Museum. Rooms with balcony, safebox wireless internet connection, satellite TV, air-con, en-suite bathrooms.
* Clean rooms with wireless internet, bathroom, satellite TV, air-con.
-
Splurge
Konya Rixos Hotel (5*)
* Konya Ozkaymak Hotel (4*)

* Konya Hilton Garden Inn (4*) (next to Mevlana Culture Centre, 500m. from Mevlana Museum)

Çatalhöyük is a prehistoric archeological site located about an hour's drive away from Konya. Its importance lies in the fact of being one of the earliest and well preserved human settlement sites discovered. At 12.00 there ıs a bus every day from Konya, which passes Çatalhöyük (5 TL), on your way back hitchhike to Çumran (ıf you walk alone on the street, most drivers wıll ask you, if they can take your for free to Çumran) and then take a bus (5 TL) or ask a museum guard for bus services from the next small village. In 2012, this site was declared a World Heritage site by Unesco.
* Tuz Gölü (literally Salt Lake), about an hour away on the road north to [wiki=9221413dd904c157938b397753a8b4bb]Ankara[/wiki], is Turkey's second largest lake after [wiki=585f98ed9d73111845ef5e876fd8c8dc]Lake Van[/wiki], although only about 2 (yes, two) meters deep at most. During summer months, it literally evaporates and leaves behind a flat and completely white landscape, just like a salt desert. It's also a good spot for birdwatching as it's an important stop-over for migratory birds on their route from Europe to Africa and vice versa during spring and autumn.
*[wiki=0a895c64086fba7342e4364a4e4c10b6]Cappadocia[/wiki], about three hours to east, is the most logical next stop on your itinerary around Central Anatolia.
*[wiki=4787db72a187c90d4e360401b1e69670]Silifke[/wiki], about 250 km to south, can be a good point of entry into the [wiki=2cf4c8016d2c76d9f7f3c4b3921025e5]Mediterranean Turkey[/wiki] from Konya, as the town is located at about the midway of two extremes of Turkish Mediterranean coast.

Hitchhiking
If you intend to head south by hitchhiking, take public bus #26 heading east on Mevlana(Karaman Yolu, fare: YTL 1.10/person) from the stops in front of the Governor’s Office (Valilik/Vilayet) in the city centre, about 5-10 minutes walk away from Rumi tomb/Mevlana Museum (leaving at 6:00, 6:30, 7:10, 7:30, 7:50, 8:30, 9:45, 11:00, etc., the bus stop has a posted schedule if you plan to leave later). #26 takes you to the highway leading to south. You can stay on until it arrives at the steppes out of city, almost until the middle of nowhere. Don’t get off the bus until it leaves the highway by turning left into a narrower road. If you plan to head toward [wiki=fbf55ec2f75ae0ee54a2c55b49eef828]Antalya[/wiki], sit on the right side of the bus and get off when you see the large sign indicating the junction of highways D330, D715, and D696, about 15 min or so from the center. Go to the D696 on- ramp to hitch to Antalya, a short walk from the intersection.
