The Sufi Trail is an 801-kilometre (498 mi)[1] long-distance footpath in Western Turkey from Istanbul to Konya following the Ottoman Sultans Hajj route.
This route is traditionally used by dwelling dervishes on their way to Konya and further on to Jerusalem and Mecca.
The books describe the route in 40 stages, each of which ends at a settlement with usually some overnight accommodation nearby.
The route passes through Istanbul and then crosses the Sea of Marmara by ferry to Yalova.
From there it crosses the provinces of Yalova, Bursa, Bilecik, Eskişehir, Ayonkarahisar and Konya to reach the mausoleum of Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi in Mevlana Museum on Mevlava Square in Konya.
