Durbalı Sultan Tekke, Ottoman khanqah in Asprogeia, Greece

The Durbalı Sultan Tekke complex includes residential buildings, a cemetery with two türbes, and numerous tombs on a mountain spur overlooking the Thessalian plain.

Founded in 1492 by a dervish from Konya, the tekke stands on the site of a 10th-century Byzantine monastery dedicated to Saint George.

The tekke features images of Imam Ali and Haji Bektash Veli, reflecting the strong influence of Islamic Sufism in this religious gathering place.

Located at coordinates 39.308681, 22.646706, the tekke remains open for visitors interested in exploring its architectural and spiritual heritage.

The entrance contains a spring, while the interior preserves frescoes of Saint George from the original Byzantine monastery that preceded the tekke.
