Kilistra

It is 50 km from Konya. The settlement in Kilistra is believed to be established first during the Hellenistic and Roman Times (BC the 2nd century - AD the 3rd century) according to result of the archaeological works. Kilistra, during the Byzantine age (BC the 8th century - AD the 13th century), also appears to have a rock-carved settlement similar to the ones in Cappadocia. Lystra, one of the Anatolian cities, is one the way between Ikonion (Konya) and Psidia Antiocheia (Yalvaç). It is on the famous King's Road. St. Paulos, whose name is mentioned in the Bible, is believed to have stopped and lived here for a while during his journey. Timotoes, to whom the apostle Paulos sent his letters, is also from this area. Santa Tecla She was considered to have lived here in the first century after Jesus.Santa Tecla ,is thought to have been the first female Saint and the martyr of Christianity .

    A magnificent discovery of this site. It is a small Cappadocia. Still little known and in the wild, the presence of a guide is essential. Mrs Fatma has been a very valuable asset with her very precise information and her listening. The driver Fatih was also very pleasant. Their advice at lunch and for my other requests was very much appreciated. We must not hesitate to immerse ourselves in the early hours of Christianity in this little Cappadocia. Do not hesitate and book. You will not be disappointed!

    I was privileged to have Fatima as my guide. She is also an English teacher, so her English is excellent. She is friendly and extremely well-informed on both the history of the site and the culture of the area. I found the site very interesting and would recommend a visit.

    My tour guide Musam Ayaz and driver Mete were far beyond my expectations. There was never any rush. And always patient with any question. Musam’s historical insights wonderfully came full circle to Turkish contemporary culture.

    The best way to reach and explore Kilistra is with the wonderful, knowledgeable folks from Selene Travel. You will be glad you let the professionals take care of the logistics - Saint Paul wished he had their assistance when he was walking this "Royal Road." Kilistra is a vast ancient city, carved out of the volcanic tuff. Enjoy amazing views, intriguing design, and a "hidden" church. Take your time to explore the lookouts, the wine-making room, and the other spaces. You will most likely be the only people there - with working farms alongside the site and goats and sheep in the distance. Enjoy it.

  • Amazing place

    In this write-up, I will not talk about the historical aspects of this Kilistra ancient site. You can read about this on the internet. I will try here to shed light on a few areas that might be important to prospect visitors. 1. This place is about a 50-minute drive southwest from Konya. The road is paved. It consists of a good highway until you take the Kilistra Exit (14.5 Kms before reaching the destination) where it becomes a 2-way rural road, still well paved but unlit at night. You will also find that you’re the only one on this road, hardly encountering another moving vehicle even in broad daylight on a working day. Please use a car having good conditions with a good spare tire and tire changing kit. It will be very difficult if you face a car breakdown on this road where traffic is scarce, particularly if you don’t speak Turkish. Have a working GSM phone anyway and leave before dark. 2. Follow the Google Maps instructions and drive slower as you get closer if you want to reach the destination without difficulty. It took me a long time to reach it because there are no pertinent road signs and the last 200 meters consist of a narrow road (a right-turn exit) that can be hardly noticed. I went by it several times, noticed it, but thought it is a private road for livestock or agricultural equipment. 3. This particular type of settlement (i.e. ancient habitats carved in rocky wall-shaped formations) can be seen at other nearby locations as well. You can see them when you look around or climb on top of the rocky walls using the existing old staircase. I visited only this spot named “Kilistra Tarihi Yer” (it is the same site appearing in a nearby Maps pin called "Ancient City of Lystra") but if you have time you may wish to visit a couple more. I can see that there is a “Kilistra Katır İni” on the map, not far from here. 4. If you are fond of historical places like me, you will love this one. Thinking about how life was in those dug holes and experiencing the feeling is intriguing. I went up the stairs and visited each room. Among the carved rooms you will find a very small church, perhaps 3 x 3 meters, with a tiny burial chamber annexed to it. The place resembles Cappadocia but on a smaller scale. 5. It is sad that the place is not getting attention from the tourism authorities. It is unguarded, thus open to vandalism and defacement. I could notice the remains of barbecue fires, food leftovers, etc. In my view, visiting this historical place is not to be missed if you happen to be in Türkiye.

    This was a magical experience for our family. The simple beauty of the ancient site of Kilistra and its rich historical significance for Christians and history buffs is definitely worth the trip. We had very easy communications with Selene agency and our tour guide, Mustafa was wonderful. His kindness and passion for the site as well its surroundings added to the spiritual experience, and we deeply enjoyed his company. Our meal was in a local restaurant in Konya and was very pleasant.
