TESOL Worldwide - Teach English in Konya, Turkey
Teaching abroad in Konya, Turkey gives the opportunity to live and work in a unique environment. Today Konya is a modern city located in the Central Anatolia Region with more than a million residents, but hidden in the outskirts of this college town are remnants of an ancient civilization to discover dating back over 10,000 years. Notable places to visit include Catalhoyuk, an underground honeycomb of plaster and mud houses where ancient peoples flourished. This fascinating archaeological site is mound shaped, located 38 miles southeast of Konya, and has a visitor center open year round. Mount Hasan is an inactive volcano where neolithic people once harvested obsidian, and is accessible by car until a six hour hike climaxes with views of Cappadocia. Striving to be environmentally conscious, eco-friendly taxis are used in Istanbul to promote sustainable transportation, and a recently opened high speed train between Istanbul and Konya has decreased travel time from 10, to 4 hours.
