We organize daily Ertugrul tours from Istanbul for groups and Individuals for many years and ertugrultour.com is the most well known Ertugrul tour organizer in Turkey alhamdulillah and although each time I go with different guests to Ertugrul Ghazi Tomb in Sogut or Sheikh Edebali tomb in Bilecik or real Turgut Alp tomb in Inegol I feel great and very emotional because they always remind me that we have to be proud of our ancestors and fathers of Ottoman Empire.

These four-gated walls were restored in 349 AD during the reign of Constantinus III of Rome, and they surround the old part of the city. They are also famed for being the second largest walls in the world after the Great Wall of China.

Reviewed By Jane2003rugby - Kingston-upon-Hull, United Kingdom
Favourite place to visit in Alanya. You can feel the History, in the oldest medieval shipyard in Europe constructed in 1227. Great views looking out over the Bay. Visiting hours 9.00 am until 19.00 pm in the Summer. Visited with the combined Ticket which was 14 TL for the shipyard, red tower & damlatas caves. 10 TL for tower & shipyard. 7 TL for just the shipyard. Reconstruction of ships, artifacts, ship building equipment, 5 Tunnels, walkway to 2 storage rooms at the back. Have to bend down, quite low, under a wall, to get to it, so not great for any disabilities people might have. Single person with a pushchair & child might also struggle to got under. A great price for just over a £ 1.00 to see.

10. Sille
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 625 reviews
Reviewed By osvaniurs
This is the most atmospheric and beautiful place I saw in Konya. Reachable by bus from the city center, it's only 25 minutes away from Alaaddin hill. Sille used to be a Christian village before the population exchange between Greece and Turkey and it is said to have been one of Rumi's favorite places after he supposedly witnessed a miracle in the local church. Sille preserves some of the old buildings, has a stream flowing along its main street and is surrounded by small rocky mountains on both sides. There are abandoned cave dwellings on one side but access to them was forbidden when I visited. The Greek church has been turned into a museum and the doorpost at the entrance contains an inscription in Karamanlica which is old Turkish written in Greek characters. If you climb up to the Zaman müzesi, a museum of clocks and watches that most likely was a church in the past, you'll see a stone bridge that you may reach by crossing the road. Any time or season is ok to visit this beautiful place.
