★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 107 reviews · from $14Best value

Review of Cappadocia’s one-hour Whirling Dervishes ceremony, with Sema ritual, live music, Serbet, optional hotel transfer, and practical tips.

“The show itself was fairly nice. It was not very long and they only let you record for a couple mins towards the end but the performers were very professional and were very committed to the performance that it seemed real and there was absolute silence in the room. If you have some free time, then you can certainly go see the condensed version. It’s not very expensive and definitely worth the money.”

“Está atividade é uma cerimônia, então é algo para ser apreciado e não divertido. Trata-se de um ritual turco tradicional. Durante a apresentação não é permitido fotografar, filmar, aplaudir ou conversar. Ao final eles disponibilizamos alguns minutos para fotos. Comprei o ticket sem transporte, o local foi fácil de encontrar através do Google Maps.”
