The stone and timber facade of the Çaybaşı Mosque by the stream

Çay (Çaybaşı) Mosque

Ottoman

Mosque

It stands on the bank of the Sille Stream, right at the head of the bridge linking the two sides. Its name comes from its position: çay, the mosque by the stream. It is one of the buildings at the centre of everyday life in Sille — bazaar, bridge and mosque are gathered within the same few metres. A modest but characteristic example of the valley's combined stone and timber workmanship.

Opening hours can change. Entry to the Aya Eleni Church is free; the days and hours it is open differ between sources (Mondays are usually closed). We recommend confirming with the Konya Provincial Directorate of Culture and Tourism before you set out.
