IT'S NOT TRUE WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT KONYA

We spent more than a week in Konya, everyone told us how strictly religious it was, but it's not true what people say about Konya, this city has changed, no different to other cities here, we found this city to be one of the most well organized, modern, friendliest and interesting of all the cities we have visited in Türkiye, a true city of hearts. The Mevlana museum and the Sema dance and it's history about the poet Rumi, were just one of the highlights.

I am Greek and my grandfather was from Konya. I salute you Mick and Trudie for an exquisite documentary and I salute the people of Konya, a wonderful city.

There's a lot more to Turkey than just Istanbul. Thank you for covering this wonderful city. I really love your video.

I visited Konya last May and I liked so much this city with kind people.(from Buenos Aires, Argentina).

I was born in Konya's first apartment building, called the Hayat Apt. in 1937 and lived there until 1954. I've not been able to visit the city since then. I ended up moving to U.S. almost 60 years ago. Amazingly enough in one section of the video I was able to see the Hayat Apt. behind you, facing the Alaaddin Hill. While watching the video it was really hard not to cry. When I was growing up in Konya it had a population of 60 thousand. We kids spent the summer days mostly at Alaaddin Hill. Every morning we walked to the High School near the Ataturk monument. In those days a family could not afford to buy you a bicycle. We could only rent it for the hour and ride it to Ataturk Monument. Since the only pawed road was around the Monument. There were no taxis. But you could hire a horse carriage to travel longer distances in the city. We also enjoyed riding to Meram and alone the way we could climb up the fruit trees and enjoyed eating them.
Along with your many videos involving other Turkish cities, this one especially is such a lovely one. Thanks so much.

I’m originally from Turkey. I visited Konya last summer after visiting there as a child 30 years ago. I was very impressed.. It was the cleanest city I’ve ever been to. People were kind, the food was delicious, and there is so much to see beyond Mevlana Mosque. Thanks for the video.

With each video you are proving to me that Turkiye is a pulling at my heart strings ❤

Merhabalar, Konya'da doğdum ve 40 yılım bu kentte geçti. Şu an Bursa/Mudanya'da yaşıyorum. Güzel anılarımın geçtiği Konya'yı çok güzel tanıttığınız için teşekkürler... Selamlar

Only a little list of different cultures which existed in Konya 1. roman 2. hittite 3. greek 4. seldchuken 5. ottoman. All of them left architecture and art behind. Also all religions were lived out in Konya. Only this city in Türkiye is bigger than the whole Netherlands. (Netherland=41.543 km² - Konya=43.523 km²)

Harikasınız, bence Kültür Bakanlığı size ödül vermeli

We visited Konya for a week in 2014 when we were residents in Side, we found it to be a very religious city and saw all the main sites, the best experience was seeing the Whirling Dervishes at the Mevlana Center and what a mesmerising experience and a must if possible.

Found this city randomly zooming around on google earth. Then googled it then YouTubed it and found this video. What a great, entertaining and informative video. A few random clicks and here I am seeing something amazing I never would have found otherwise. Love google earth adventuring!

[josephearth]
