Itinerary
The Karatay Medrese, formerly an Islamic university, houses excellent faience works of art from the Seljuk era. The first carpet manufacturers whose products inspired world traveler Marco Polo were also located in Konya.
Today's Mevlana Museum (Turkish Mevlânâ Müzesi) is the mausoleum of Jalāl ad-Din ar-Rūmī with the attached lodge of the Mevlevi Dervish Brotherhood, in Turkish Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi Türbesi ve Dergahi, in Konya, Turkey, the former capital of the Sultanate of Rum -Seljuks. The Mevlâna is a Sufi mystic, also known as Mavlâna or Rumi. It was also the Dervish Hut of the Mevlevi Order, better known as the Whirling Dervishes. Sultan Ala al-Din Keykubbad, the Seljuk Sultan who invited Mevlana to Konya, offered his rose garden as a suitable place to bury Rumi's father, Baha ud-Din Walad, when he died on January 12, 1231.
After lunch, take a short walk through the old town of Konya.

About Side
Side is a small Turkish Mediterranean resort on an ancient peninsula, with Roman and Greek temples, a theatre and golden beaches on both sides.
Side was an important port of ancient Pamphylia, and its ruins stand on a small peninsula where the town and harbour now are. The Roman theatre, one of the largest in the region, rises behind the town, and the Temples of Apollo and Athena, with their columns, stand on the seafront. A Roman bath houses the Side Museum, and the old gate and walls lead into the village.
