Caravanserai Route Map

Historical trade-route stops you can still sleep in or visit.

What this solves

Türkiye has over 200 surviving caravanserai (han) from the Silk Road era. Many are crumbling ruins in fields; a handful have been restored as boutique hotels where you sleep under a 600-year stone dome. This tool picks the ones worth a stop on a route from Bursa / Bilecik to Kayseri / Sivas, with current visit/sleep status.

FAQ

How much is a han night?

€80–200 per night for two, including breakfast. Rare and worth it.

Are they family-friendly?

Most restored ones are — but the courtyards have stone surfaces and open wells. Supervise young kids.

How old are these buildings?

Most surviving hans date from the 13th–14th centuries (Seljuk and early Ottoman). Some are 800+ years old.
