Karabaş-i Veli Kültür Merkezi

Take a seat in this 200-year-old tekke (dervish lodge) to watch the şeyh (master dervish) lead his students through a sema (whirling dervish ceremony) for 35 minutes every evening. Saturday night is a major event, with various dervish groups participating. Get here early to absorb the wonderful community atmosphere in the tekke's çay bahçesi (tea garden) before the ceremony.
