The town of Hacibektas is a place where the philosopher Haji Bektash Veli lived and worked. The Sufi dervish founded the Bektashi order here. We will visit his tomb and museum.
St. John's Church in Gulsehir hides beautiful frescoes depicting scenes from the Bible and the life of Jesus. Its two floors underwent a restoration process in 1995 and the frescoes are well preserved.
