The Hasan Baba Tekke (Greek: Τεκές Χασάν Μπαμπά) is a former tekke (a house for the gathering of dervishes) in the Vale of Tempe, Greece. The tekke is a large complex, now largely ruined, near the village of Tempi [el], on the banks of the Pineios River.[1] In Byzantine times, the settlement of Lykostomion occupied the site, but the modern settlement grew up around the tekke, and until the 20th century was named Baba after the founder of the tekke, Hasan Baba.[1]
