Sema Show

Cappadocia provides an exceptional platform for the renowned Mevlevi tradition of Sufi whirling known as the sema ceremony, deeply rooted in the teachings of Mevlana Rumi. These performances involve semazens (whirling dervishes) meditating rhythmically while dressed in traditional white attire. Sema ceremonies serve as a means to help individuals achieve a spiritual experience and convey Mevlana’s message of love and unity. Taking place beneath the enchanting atmosphere of Cappadocia, these sema performances offer a mystical experience for both local and international visitors. These events not only pay homage to Mevlana’s legacy but also serve as a way to share the captivating ambiance of Cappadocia.
