Galata Mevlevihanesi Müzesi Review

Istanbul is a must-pass place for Turkish tourism. In fact, the city is quite good. Some plans are much stronger than domestic ones. The currency here is mainly US dollars and lira. The overall consumption is not cheap.

Up on Galata, you can see Golden Point Bay on the right, Bosphorus on the left, and dinner on the top of the tower.

这是个很有历史感的国度，可惜我不懂土耳其文字

The first Mawlawi House in Istanbul built in the 15th century and a museum today, this is the place to see the whirling dervishes and learn about the Sufi traditions if you do not have the means to go to Konya, to the tomb of Rumi.

If you're in Istanbul, you've got to see the whirling dervishes spin into ecstatic ecstasy with Allah. The music they dance to is played live and is almost as mesmerizing as the dervishes themselves. Non-Muslims are most welcome to the sema (the ceremony) because of the fact that this particular sect of Islam believes that all are equal in the eyes of God. Cameras and video cameras are ok even, just turn off your flash so you don't blind one of 'em. The hall where they get their spin on is actually part of the train station on Galipdede Caddesi just south of Tunel Square, at the southern end of Beyoglu's Istiklal Caddesi.
