Kalehan Ecdat Garden in Konya: Architecture, Water and Planning a Visit​

Kalehan Ecdat Bahçesi in Yazır, Selçuklu, is a landscaped garden whose buildings draw on Seljuk and Ottoman design. These are modern constructions in a historical style, rather than original monuments from those periods. It can be considered as a separate outing from Konya’s central sights.

Location and transport​

The garden is in Yazır, Selçuklu, near Doç. Dr. Halil Ürün Caddesi. Find Ecdat Park on the map, then confirm the entrance, transport route and return journey before travelling. The map identifies the site, not a verified accessible entrance; check the final walking section and current parking arrangements.

What to look for​

The 2017 design included a pond, a lighthouse, a viewing tower, gardens and buildings inspired by Seljuk and Ottoman forms. These describe the design at completion, not a guarantee that every feature is open or operating today. Walk on permitted paths and check locally before planning around a particular building or water feature.

A practical visit plan​

The garden hosted a basketball tournament in October 2026. It was a dated event; check current announcements for anything scheduled during your visit.

Stage	Suggestion
Before arrival	Check access, weather, your entrance and return transport.
In the garden	Choose an open route around the landscaped areas and water.
A break	Check whether the café or restaurant you select is open and its prices.
Afterwards	Allow travel time if combining the visit with another part of Konya.

Costs and services​

A current admission tariff and opening schedule have not been confirmed. Check them with the operator; food, parking and any activities can have separate charges. Do not infer present prices from historical project costs.

Families and accessibility​

Supervise children near water and respect barriers. Ask about the most suitable entrance, path gradients and toilets for a wheelchair or stroller, and bring water and weather-appropriate clothing.

Before leaving​

Check current notices, service hours and weather before travelling. Choose a meeting point and return route.
