Kırkgöz Han caravanserai

Kırkgöz Han Kervansarayı

MonumentLocal favourite

A Seljuk caravanserai built under Sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev II, with an inscription dated 1236 over its low-arched gate and a small mosque (mescit) inside; Hürriyet calls it the last stop on the Silk Road before the port of Antalya. It is leased from the Foundations Directorate (Vakıflar) and has been restored by its operator. It sits near Kırkgöz Lake, Antalya's largest natural lake, in the same area as Karain Cave, yet few visitors make the detour.

Good to know

  • Combine with Karain Cave nearby; Kırkgöz Lake is a protected site, though Sabah reported rubbish problems there in 2020
  • You need a car or taxi; there is no tram this far north
  • Check hours before going; it is privately run and sometimes hosts events
