Konya Metropolitan Municipality continues to organize bicycle tours along various routes for those who wish to explore the city’s historical, cultural, and natural beauties by bike.
Most recently, Konya Metropolitan Municipality organized a bicycle tour from the ancient city of Savatra in Yağlıbayat Neighborhood of Karatay District to Obruk Han, a 13th-century inn located on the Konya-Aksaray caravan route.
Participants received information about the excavations in Savatra and the region’s history, carried out by Konya Metropolitan Municipality and Karatay Municipality. As part of the bicycle tour, they passed through the neighborhoods of Ağsaklı, Akörenkışla, and Kızören before arriving at Obruk Han.
