For guests looking to spend an unforgettable evening in Cappadocia’s mystical atmosphere, we offer the caravanserai night—a unique experience where history and culture blend seamlessly.
Our tour begins with a comfortable transfer from your hotel in a private vehicle. Enjoy a scenic drive through Cappadocia’s historic landscape before arriving at the 13th-century caravanserai—a mesmerizing Seljuk-era trade center that now hosts mystical performances for visitors.
Upon entering the caravanserai, you’ll be welcomed by the enchanting ambiance of its ancient stone walls. Before the ceremony begins, a short introduction will provide insight into the history of caravanserai. Then, under atmospheric lighting, the Mevlevi Whirling Dervish Ceremony begins. This centuries-old spiritual ritual,
accompanied by soothing music and the dervishes’ harmonious whirling, offers a moment of peace and reflection.
The dervishes’ circular movements symbolize the infinity of the universe and the soul’s journey toward unity with the divine.
