Caravanserail - Kusadasi
  • It is near the port of Kusadasi. It was built by the vizier Okuz Mehmet Pascha and was restored 1966. It is an Ottoman Castle built for sea trade. The courtyard has 8.50 x 21.60 m. dim. It is surrounded by a two storied porched in door area. There are two stairs to upper floor, one to the north - west, the other to the Southeast comers.
  • The entrance of the caravanserai is in the north. The marble gate is 2.96 m. wide and has a low arch way. The door looks simple. There are two archways one on the right and the other one the left leading to the middle section. As the left one has a small backdoor, it is thought that is was used as the left luggage place. The right one was probably the guardian's, who took care of incoming and outgoing. After digging, a fountain was found in the middle and was restored as a pool. There is a room behind each cross vault porch surrounding the courtyard. There are five places and cupboards of various sizes in each room. The caravanserai is covered with noticeable marks on the north surface.
  • To prevent possible attacks from the sea northwest and south -west sides were supported more. As the north side was take in to consideration together with the outer doors, it was thought as the most important place of defence. There is a gate opening to the bazaar if the town in the east of the caravanserai.
