Ehmedek

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:49:01

As you walk up towards Alanya Castle, the road passes a turn-off for the village of Ehmedek, which was the Turkish quarter during Ottoman and Seljuk times. Today a number of old wooden houses still cluster around the fine 16th-century Süleymaniye Camii , the oldest mosque in Alanya. Also here is a former Ottoman bedesten (vaulted covered market) and the Akşebe Türbesi , a distinctive 13th-century mausoleum.
