Yunus Emre Tomb, Kültepe Dam, Bozkır Dam, Ortaköy

The character of the route:

The route, which uses the fairy-tale paths of Anatolia adorned with legends, starts from the tomb of Anatolian saint Yunus Emre. The path that leaves the sanctuary and descends silently through the fields to the Kültepe Dam continues on a fairly flat surface until Bozkır Village. It leaves the village at 14km, climbs gently on a sweet ramp, and ends in Ortaköy, where the famous mystic and folk poet Yunus Emre lived for a while.

   
Notes to Travelers:

• Female visitors must have a scarf to use when visiting the shrine.
• Entrances to Selime Monastery and Ihlara Valley Ruins are paid, and you can enter both ruins with a single ticket.
