Öküz Mehmet Pasha Caravanserai built for marine trade by Grand Vizier Öküz Mehmet Pasha in 1618. It is located near the Kuşadası wharf. It was restored in 1966 and used as a hotel.
This excellent example of Ottoman architecture is located in the centre of Kusadasi and was built in the 17th century by the Grand Vizier Okuz Mehmet Pasha, and is still used today for prayer.
The Castle Gate was built during the Ottoman era and used as a police station for many years century ago, today it has been gained back to tourism industri as Turkey's very first and the world's third Micro Miniature Art Center by the Municipality of Kuşadası.
Now, proudly exhibits over 20 micro miniature sculptures of Mr. Necati Korkmaz,one of the only three micro sculptures in the world and the only artist of his kind in Turkey. Some of the exhibition pieces displayed in this magnificient building are currently known to be "the world's smallest art work created by hand".
Turkish Bath, Hamam in Turkish, is an unique experience that we recommend everyone who visits Kuşadası. First you experience steam room, then you get a full body scrub where the whole death skin comes off, after a nice rinse they will give you a foam massage and rinse again. After all they will give you a nice oil massage. You will be all refreshed and relaxed.
