- Goreme - Greetings to all friends and travelers! This is a wonderful opportunity to engage in an authentic evening activity. Gather together to visit one of the ancient historical caves to witness the dervishes! The location itself is incredible and steeped in fascinating history.
While performances can be seen in various places, the key aspect here is that this is an authentic cave, and the dervishes are genuine Sufis, not actors! They have undergone years of religious and Sufi education and experiences. This is a 700-year-old religious ceremony, a unique way for dervishes to connect with Allah.
This is not a lively, touristy show; it is a spiritual performance where dervishes engage in their meditation ceremony to reach nirvana. Whirling dervish ceremonies began as a form of meditation by Jalaluddin Rumi, the renowned Sufi Muslim mystic and poet, in the 13th century. Today, Sufism has many followers worldwide.
After the ceremony concludes, enjoy a serbet drink before returning.
