Nevşehir is in the Central Anatolia Region.It is in the middle of Türkiye

Hacibektas is a typical central Anatolian town at about 46 km north of Nevsehir, near Cappadocia. The town looks very ordinary but it’s named after the Sufi philosopher Haci Bektas Veli who lived here in the 14th century.

He is one of the biggest philosophers and thinkers.He is the eponym of the Bektashi Sufi order and is

considered as one of the principal teachers of Alevism.

Haci Bektas Veli wrote a number of works on mysticism with frequent references to verses from the Kuran. His ideas show us

that he was a sincere and mature student of mysticism, his teachings address the one’s heart, urge friendship and peace, he had infinite love for humans and animals, and a great tolerance.

Today, these teachings are known as the Bektashi Order doctrines.

Hacı Bektaşi Veli is known for his great tolerance and humanitarian character, and his true love for Allah.

He came to Anatolia to spread İslam from Nishapur(Khorasan) .As it is seen in this picture he believes that a lion and a deer

should be a friend not an enemy

The reputation of Haci Bektas spread into many countries, besides playing an important part in Turkish political and cultural history. After the Republic, all religious orders were viewed with suspicion

and outlawed in 1925 by Atatürk, but Haci Bektas Veli’s mausoleum and the monastery are still visited by many people

After the entrance, there is a large courtyard where you can see Üçler fountain, symbolising the Creator (Allah), Mohammed (the Prophet) and Ali (the Caliph).

Originally in this courtyard, there were also buildings accommodating the dervishes, stables for the horses of guests, barns, etc. In the second courtyard there is a pool, the Lion Fountain with the holy water, the Asevi (refectory), a

hamam (baths), a guest house

. In the second courtyard there is a pool, the Lion Fountain with the holy water, the Asevi (refectory), a hamam (baths), a guest house, a

mosque, kitchen, the Cem Hall where sacred ceremonies were held, and the kiosk where the lodge’s leader received guests.

He is one of the most important figures of Alevi (Alawi) order, a sect of Islam. Thus, the town is the sacred center of the

Alevis in Anatolia. It is currently open as a museum and his resting place is still visited by both Sunni and Alevi Muslims.

Large festivals are held there ın mid- August every year.

Archaeology & Ethnography MuseumIt was opened in 1988 in the center of the town, where you

can find archaeological artifacts found during the excavations of Karahöyük and other ancient sites in the area. There is also

a small Ethnography section where you can see traditional costumes, utensils, and kilims from the region.

CAPPADOCIAThe name of Cappadocia dates from the late 6th century BC ,Old Persian name is Katpatuka, which is of uncertain origin: the name could be genuine Old Persian,

meaning the land of the beautiful horses .

• In pre-Hellenistic times, Persians, Hittites Assyrians and Greeks all lived in Cappodocia. All of these groups were Hellenised in the era of the Greek city-states.

• During the Middle Ages, after the settlement of Armenians in the Cappadocian theme during the Byzantine era, numerous Turkish tribes invaded the region, which was subsequently settled by them.

• Since 1915-1922 Turkish people constitute the vast majority of the population of this region.

THE FAIRY CHIMNEYS

The interesting rock formations, known as “Fairy Chimneys”, have been formed as the result of the erosion of tufa layer, sculpted by wind and flood water, running down on the slopes of the valleys. Water has found its way through the valleys

Hot-air ballooning is very popular in Cappadocia and is available in Goreme. Trekking is enjoyed in Ihlara Valley.

The area is a popular tourist destination, as it has many areas with unique geological, historical, and cultural features

Fractures and collapses during earthquakes have added to erosion resulting in deep valleys and canyons. Sedimentary

rocks formed in lakes and streams that erupted from ancient volcanoes approximately 9 to 3 million years ago underlie the

Cappadocia region

Various types of Fairy Chimneys, are found in Cappadocia. Among these are those with caps, cones, mushroom like forms, columns and pointed rocks.

Cappadocia contains several underground cities, largely used by early Christians as hiding places before Christianity

became an accepted religion. The underground cities have vast defence networks of traps

throughout their many levels

• These traps are very creative, including such devices as large round stones to block doors and holes in the ceiling through which the defenders may drop spears.

• These defense systems were mainly used against the Romans. The tunnel system also was made to have thin corridors for the Roman fighting strategy was to move in groups which was not possible to do in the thin corridors making it easy to pick them off.
