I previously wrote about the Seljuk heritage in Konya and also about the fascinating Mevlana Museum. But there is also Ottoman Konya to consider, in addition to history before it became an important Ottoman city.
In fact, it was really the only thing that I knew about Konya when I decided to go there, during my travel across Turkey.

Certain special places exist in the world, but we may not know anything about them. In my case, Mevlana Museum was one of them. When I included Konya in my travel itinerary, I knew that it was an important Ottoman city. So, it made sense for me to go there because one of the reasons for my travel across Turkey was to explore Ottoman heritage.

Earlier this year, when I was making plans for my travel in Turkey, I included Konya because I knew that it was an important Ottoman city. But I certainly didn't know that there would be one additional aspect to consider. I'm referring to Seljuk Konya.
I read about Konya on the beach in Antalya, because I wanted to find out more about the place that I was going to visit. That's when I discovered its ...
After a week in Antalya, it was time for me to move to Konya, the next destination during my travel across Turkey. I was a bit sad to leave Antalya because I enjoyed my time on the beach there. The inland places that I was going to visit during the next leg of my journey had neither a beach, nor a swimming pool, where I could cool down during hot summer days.
But that didn't bother me too much because, ...
If you consider spending your summer holiday in Antalya where to stay and what to do may be the first thing that you will ask, before you start making arrangements. Indeed, every time when we go to a new place, we may feel a bit apprehensive, although that's normal. We all want to have a good time and get the best out of our holidays.

After a short stop in Aydin, it was time for me to move to Antalya, the next destination during my travel across Turkey. I originally planned to go there directly from Kusadasi where I spent a week on the beach. I wanted to continue my summer holiday, but in a different place. Earlier this year, when I planned this trip, I also considered Bodrum and Fethiye. But I've been to these two places before, plus ...
After a week on the beach in Kusadasi, it was time for me to move to the next destination during my travel across Turkey, in July and August 2019. I originally planned to go directly to Antalya, to spend some more time by the sea. But when I checked how to go there, I discovered that there were no direct buses from Kusadasi. I had to go to Aydin first and then from Aydin to Antalya.
So, as I had to stop ...
The main reason for my travel to Turkey in summer 2019 was to spend several weeks on the beach. But, that wasn't the only reason. I also wanted to explore Ottoman heritage. I've really only been to Istanbul in the past and, with my Italian friends, I also went to Bodrum and Fethiye in June 2007. However, that was a short trip with an accent on being by the sea. So, after Istanbul, Bursa and Izmir, it was ...
The main reason for my travel in Turkey was to spend several weeks on the beach, in some of its most popular summer resorts. However, the second important reason was to explore the Ottoman heritage and that's why I went to Istanbul, Bursa and Konya. These three cities, but also some other ones, are the richest in Ottoman history. I've already written about Istanbul and Bursa. They are really the best places ...
After three days in Bursa, it was time for me to move to Izmir, the next destination during my travel across Turkey in July and August 2019. It made sense to stop in Izmir as I was moving in that direction. It was the middle of the summer and I wanted to spend some time in one of Turkey's beach resorts on the Aegean Sea.
