Lonely Planet review

Behind a green door with an Italian Institute sign, the Museo Mevlevi centres on a meticulously restored Ottoman-era theatre for whirling dervishes. Hidden behind stone façades, the beautiful wood structure feels like a little jewel box. Downstairs, see the remains of the madrassa that forms the building's foundation; the thorough notes are a rare model of thoughtful excavation.
