HACI BEKTAS

It is the birthplace of saint Hacı Bektaş Veli, a thinker who influenced Islam and founder of the dervish order Bektaşi. You can get an idea of their daily life in the monastery (tekke). At the Meydan Evi, where the novices entered the orders, costumes and musical instruments are now on display. The tekke consists of three courtyards with the beautiful lion fountain in the second one. The saint's türbe is erected in the third courtyard. It is a place of pilgrimage. In August, a festival is held there with a poetry and singing competition.
