hiya Shelly 
i went to konya for the first time about a month ago with my boyfriend 
he is kurdish
its much different to 
icmeler and any other tourist places in turkey 
it is much more religious with lots of covered women and more evidence or religion around in the streets 
its a huge city according to my boyfriend and his cousin it is the biggest city in turkey on land mass but not in population 
its very hisorical with a famous museum called mevlana which lots of tourists go and see 
hope you have a wonderful time there if you would like to know anymore please dont hestitate to ask me 

hope this has helped
