Gamblers Inn

Gamblers Inn
After the Buyuk Hammam is passed you arrive following 50m at a tiny square, on the far side of which is tattered and rumpled Kumarcilar Han, or Gamblers' Inn, constructed around 1600. Like all caravanserais, the doorway used to lead into an open internal yard, where the merchants would get together with their camels or donkeys, having arrived bearing their goods for sale. In the interior, all the services they wanted were on hand: apart from accommodation, in the upper rooms of the arcaded courtyard, but also stabling for the animals downstairs, along with food and refreshments and blacksmiths and leatherworkers for maintenance. You can still observe the courtyard, now overgrown, in the course of the grille in the front door.
