The Kızlaragası Han is the most impressive surviving Ottoman commercial building in İzmir, a two-storey caravanserai built around a central courtyard that has operated continuously since 1744. The ground floor contains small shops selling silver jewellery, carpets, copper goods, and handicrafts; the upper gallery is accessible and gives a good view of the courtyard below.
The han has been sensitively restored and is one of the most pleasant spaces in Kemeraltı — a relief from the bustle of the surrounding streets. A small open-air café operates in the courtyard. This is the best place in İzmir to buy traditional handicrafts, though bargaining is expected.
