Sarı Saltık Tekke

This Bektashi tekke stands on a mountaintop one thousand one hundred and seventy-six metres above sea level and is linked to the thirteenth-century dervish Sarı Saltık. It was pulled down in nineteen sixty-seven and rebuilt by volunteers in nineteen ninety-one. It preserves the footprint in the rock and draws pilgrims every year on the twenty-second of August.
