Discover Konya, Türkiye
Located in the heart of Türkiye, Konya is one of the country’s most historic and culturally rich cities.
Known for its warm hospitality, deep cultural heritage, and vibrant modern life, Konya offers visitors a unique blend of tradition, scholarship, and contemporary development.
Konya is internationally recognized as the spiritual home of the great philosopher and poet Jalāl ad-Dīn Rūmī, whose teachings of tolerance, unity, and human connection continue to inspire people around the world. Visitors can explore the renowned Mevlana Museum, one of Türkiye’s most visited cultural sites and the resting place of Rumi. The city’s rich spiritual heritage is also reflected in the famous Whirling Dervishes tradition, recognized globally for its symbolic expression of harmony and reflection.
Another hidden place, Çatalhöyük, one of the largest Neolithic settlements ever discovered, built more than 9000 years ago, lies in the Konya Plain in central Türkiye. It is known in archaeology as a proto-city, a link between the cave-dwellings of prehistoric hunter-gatherers and the early urban constructions.
Beyond its cultural significance, Konya is a dynamic university city and an important centre of education, research, and innovation. The Congress will be hosted at Selçuk University, one of Türkiye’s leading academic institutions, known for its strong international collaborations and vibrant campus environment.
Konya also offers visitors the opportunity to experience authentic Turkish culture. From impressive Seljuk-era architecture and historic mosques to bustling markets and welcoming cafés, the city combines centuries of history with modern comfort. Its central location and excellent high-speed rail connections make it easily accessible from major destinations such as Ankara and Istanbul.
Visitors can also enjoy Konya’s renowned culinary traditions, including the famous Etli Ekmek, often described as a local specialty not to be missed.
