Arrive at Konya where you will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the poet and mystic Rumi (also called Melvana in Turkish) as you visit the Melvana Museum and his mausoleum. After a buffet lunch, tour the Alaeddin Mosque which stands as an excellent example of Turkish religious architecture.
