This is the most atmospheric and beautiful place I saw in Konya. Reachable by bus from the city center, it's only 25 minutes away from Alaaddin hill. Sille used to be a Christian village before the population exchange between Greece and Turkey and it is said to have been one of Rumi's favorite places after he supposedly witnessed a miracle in the local church. Sille preserves some of the old buildings, has a stream flowing along its main street and is surrounded by small rocky mountains on both sides. There are abandoned cave dwellings on one side but access to them was forbidden when I visited. The Greek church has been turned into a museum and the doorpost at the entrance contains an inscription in Karamanlica which is old Turkish written in Greek characters. If you climb up to the Zaman müzesi, a museum of clocks and watches that most likely was a church in the past, you'll see a stone bridge that you may reach by crossing the road. Any time or season is ok to visit this beautiful place.

If you are into archaeology or pre-history, this site is a must. One of the most sensitively and well presented sites I have visited, it is captivating and informative. Hard to believe it was inhabited almost 10,000 years ago. Local taxis will take you the 33km from Konya and ours waited a full 3 hours for us. Truly memorable and a highlight of my extensive experience of visiting such sites in the world.
