Near the museum there is a large former Han, the Konakaltı Han. It is an 18th century construction that has been restored (that is: almost rebuilt) and now used as a cultural centre. Over the years I took many pictures here. This is one of them.

Nail Çakırhan was a Turkish poet and journalist in his career in the beginning, and later a self-taught and award-winning architect and restorer who left his print particularly in the architecture of the coastal township of Akyaka in southwestern Turkey through old houses he had repaired and restored or new houses built in accordance with the traditional styles and approaches of Turkish/Ottoman/Aegean houses, supplemented with innovative conceptions and designs. He was responsible for the Konakaltı Han restoration.
