As a reward for his military service, including in the pacification and Islamization of Thessaly, the local Ottoman authorities granted him the license to build a tekke.

[3] According to the archaeologist Frederick Hasluck, in c. 1888 there were 55 dervishes living in the tekke, while in 1892, the Greek novelist Andreas Karkavitsas visited the shrine and wrote about his experiences there in the Estia newspaper.

[2] In 1925, following the abolition of the sufi orders in Turkey by Mustafa Kemal,[1] the tekke was taken over by the Albanian Bektashis, who remained there until 1973, when the 33rd and last abbot (baba) died.

[1][3] The residential area included stables, a kitchen, storage rooms, guest houses, and a building for the ritual purification of prospective abbots.

[1] The western türbe is the oldest, with dimensions of 6×7×7,5 m. Its masonry is of irregular ashlar blocks surrounded by bricks, which according to some scholars dates it to the 16th century.

[1] The tekke still belongs to the Bektashi order, but its de facto management is under the land office of the Larissa Prefecture, leading to disagreements and legal ambiguity over its ownership status and problems with its maintenance.
