Öküz Mehmed Pasha Caravanserai, Ottoman caravanserai in Kuşadası, Turkey.

The rectangular stone building features a central courtyard measuring 28 meters by 21 meters, with two floors containing individual rooms for travelers.

Constructed between 1615 and 1618 by Ottoman commander Öküz Mehmed Pasha, this structure served both as accommodation and customs house along trade routes.

The caravanserai demonstrates Ottoman period architecture through its marble-covered arched entrances, traditional fireplaces, and systematic room arrangements for merchants and officials.

Located near Kuşadası marketplace, the building contains 25 rooms with 55 beds, operating as a hotel since 1978 under Club Caravanserai management.

The building's thick walls, constructed from rubble masonry and gathered stones, include small closets and windows beneath covered walkways in each room.
