Private Catalhoyuk & Konya Tour from Cappadocia with Lunch

Travel through thousands of years of Central Anatolian history on a private full-day journey from Cappadocia to Çatalhöyük, Sultanhanı and Konya. Begin with a visit to Sultanhanı Caravanserai, a monumental Seljuk-era stop on the historic Silk Road. Continue to the UNESCO-listed Neolithic settlement of Çatalhöyük, where your private licensed guide will explain how one of the world’s earliest large communities lived, built their homes and developed complex social traditions. After a traditional lunch in Konya, visit the Mevlana Museum, home to the tomb of Jalal al-Din Rumi and the historic lodge associated with the Mevlevi tradition. Private hotel pickup and drop-off, a licensed guide, a professional driver, an air-conditioned vehicle, admission tickets and lunch are included. This is a long but rewarding private day trip, combining Neolithic archaeology, Seljuk architecture and the spiritual heritage of Rumi in one carefully coordinated itinerary.
