The sea smells of lemon and brine as you step from the narrow quay into a maze of sun-bleached stone streets. Voices trade across alleyways, and the Aegean presses its blue edge against the harbor—an active partner in the city’s rhythm that morning. Your guide meets you at the carved portal of Öküz Mehmet Pasha Caravanserai and the walk begins: a compact loop through Ottoman storefronts, mosque courtyards, and the low ruins of ancient defensive walls.
