The Saruhan Caravanserai is a 13th-century Seljuk structure built in 1259 on the Avanos-Goreme road that once provided shelter, food, and protection for merchants traveling the ancient trade routes. Visitors explore the gated courtyard, small chambers, and elaborately decorated halls where a masjid prayer chamber and a domed hall hosting nightly Whirling Dervish performances showcase distinctive Seljuk architectural style.
