Other Faith Tours in Turkey

Turkey’s diverse religious heritage includes sacred sites for Bahá'ís in Edirne and Istanbul, Alevi cem houses in Anatolia, and Alawite hubs in Hatay. Ancient sites like the Güven Temple in Mardin and Pire Zirav in Cinerya disclose Turkey’s spiritual past, alongside a growing interest in Tengrism.

The Bahá'í Faith (Bahâîlik) also holds a sacred connection to Turkey. Edirne, where Bahá'u'lláh, the founder, once lived, remains a pilgrimage site for followers. Istanbul also mirrors this spiritual history. Visitors can explore the House of Bahá'u'lláh in Edirne, the Alevi cem houses in Anatolia, and the Alawite cultural hubs around Hatay.

Yazidis (or Shafadins), historically tied to southeastern Turkey, experienced significant emigration in the late 20th century, largely due to regional conflicts. Today, only a small remnant remains, a shadow of a once-thriving population. Similarly, the resurgence of Tengrism (Tengricilik), an ancient Turkic belief religion based on animism and shamanism, finds a niche following among intellectual circles, reflecting Turkey’s growing interest in pre-Islamic cultural roots.
