We stopped here for a walk and rooftop lunch in June. Had a lovely few hours here in Sille on our way from Selcuk to Goreme. Thank you!

Thank you Ali! My family likes your video of Sille Konya. We had ancestors in Turkey. My great-grandparents lived in Konya during the decades of 1910s and 1920s. They took photos of their vacations in Sille.
