Near Misis Bridge, Havraniye Caravanserai survives as historic remains. The cultural inventory records pointed vault arches and walls of dressed stone. A road divides the surviving structure. This is a ruined caravanserai rather than an operating accommodation facility.

Adana practical travel guide

Adana combines the fertile Çukurova plain, the Seyhan River, lively street culture and one of Türkiye's most recognisable regional cuisines. The city works especially well for travelers interested in food, everyday urban life and excursions toward the Taurus Mountains.

  • ✓Visit Sabancı Central Mosque and the riverside parks.
  • ✓Explore the Archaeology Museum and the old city around Tepebağ.
  • ✓Plan a nature excursion to Kapıkaya Canyon or the Taurus foothills.

Best time to visit

Spring and autumn usually provide the most comfortable conditions. Summers are very hot, so outdoor sightseeing is easier early in the morning or toward sunset.
