Most of Kusadasi's tourist attractions are found in the harbor area. The Kervansaray (caravanserai) here was built by Öküz Mehmet Pasa in 1618.
Its battlemented facade was restored in the 1960s, and it has served as the Club Caravanserail Hotel since 1967. Just to the southwest, you can still seek out some good examples of 19th-century half-timbered houses in the typical traditional style of the region.
The old town wall southern gate still survives here as well. The bazaar area, full of Turkish souvenirs, begins directly in front of the harbor dock
