Galata Mevlevihanesi review Rate it

This is the only institution in Istanbul dedicated to the Whirling Dervishes that is open to the public. A peaceful courtyard leads through to the octagonal tekke (lodge), a restored version of the 1491 original, whichcontains various musical instruments and beautifully illuminated Qu'rans. Also within the complex is the tomb of Galip Dede, a 17th-century Sufi poet after whom the street is named.
