Caravanserai Öküz Mehmet Paşa Caravanserai Kusadasi is close to the pier. It was built in 1618 by Grand Vizier Öküz Mehmet Pasha. Around the rectangular courtyard, which is surrounded by thick and high walls, there is a two-storey, colonnaded indoor space. It was built using rubble stone and reused stone material. The caravanserai, which has the appearance of a small inner castle, has a triangular tipped dendanel at the top. There are rooms lined around the spacious courtyard. It has been restored in various periods and is intact. At the corners of the northwest and southeast, there are two staircases leading up to the rear. The entrance of the caravanserai is to the north and the marble door cavity is arched.
