2. Built in 1618 by Grand Vizier Öküz Mehmet Paşa, this remarkable caravanserai served as a fortified inn for merchants, travelers, and their caravans during the height of the Ottoman Empire. Located near the harbor of Kuşadası, it played a vital role in regional trade and maritime commerce. The structure reflects classic Ottoman architecture, featuring thick stone walls, a large central courtyard, arched colonnades, and strategically designed rooms once used for rest, trade, and storage. Today, the caravanserai stands as a well-preserved monument to the empire’s commercial past and is a key historical landmark in the town.

About Kusadasi

Kuşadası is a busy Aegean resort on Turkey's west coast, a short drive from Ephesus, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the Mediterranean.

The town curves around a bay with a busy cruise port, a marina and Pigeon Island, linked to the shore by a causeway and topped by a small stone fortress. The old town's streets climb behind the harbour with bazaars, cafés and restaurants, and beaches such as Ladies Beach and Long Beach stretch along the coast.
