Mumcu described the historic city as "a natural photo studio" while making comments to Turkey's state-run news agency.
"We invite everyone to Kilistra where is so close to Konya. There is an untouched natural environment away from urbanization. We visit historical churches, living spaces, temples located in the historic place, " Mumcu said in a statement.
Ayşe Kayacı, one of the photography enthusiasts, stated that she had seen the ancient city for the first time and said, "I wanted to take my interest in photography to the highest level with theoretical training. I went to the field for the first time and the snow landscape was very special."
We took beautiful pictures. Kilistra is very beautiful and a great place. We plan to come here again soon, " she said.
