Begin with the gate into İçerişehir and let the old town introduce itself at walking pace. This itinerary groups the mosque, medrese, Bedesten, bathhouse and Demirli Mescid into one reading of the neighbourhood. Allow time for looking, resting and photographs. Ask site staff about interior visits.
At Eşrefoğlu Mosque, compare the carved stone portal with the timber-columned interior when visiting is possible. Continue the architectural comparison outside: the medrese, market and bathhouse bring education, trade and everyday life into the same district. The linked articles trace the individual histories of these neighbouring buildings and provide their sources.
Use the numbered map markers to orient yourself, then follow public streets between stops. The map shows each stop so you can plan your own pace and approach. The planning section compares straight-line distances and opens walking directions for each adjacent leg. Allow extra time for worship, photography and uneven surfaces, and confirm local access as you go.
