    The Dervish Monastery is located on the banks of the Buna spring, surrounded by steep karst stone cliffs and giant trees. Almost 600 years ago the first parts of the complex were carved into the rock by the dervishes, today the modest walls serve as a museum for Turkish living culture.

    Rock climbing

    On the banks of the Buna spring, surrounded by dramatic karst stone cliffs and giant trees, lies the dervish monastery. Almost 600 years ago the first parts of the complex were carved into the rock by the dervishes, today the modest walls serve as a museum for Turkish living culture. Even if only a fraction of the once so impressive monastery can be admired today, the Tekija has retained its charm over the centuries. The reason for this is the unique picture book setting that made the monastery known beyond its national borders.

    dervish

    [Persian. därwīš 'biedak', 'beggar'],

    from the 11th century in some Muslim countries a term for a member of the Sufi (mystical) brotherhood, an equivalent of the Arabic term "fakir";

    the dervishes lived in meetinghouses or led an itinerant lifestyle, characterized by their poverty and full devotion to God; in the tradition of eur. the connection of the term "dervish" with members of certain mystical fraternities, practicing rituals of the ecstatic type (e.g. "dancing dervishes" from the maulawiyya fraternity), was established, which is a narrowing of the original meaning
