Ertokuş Han (Kudret Han)

Its story

Ertokuş Han was built on the section of the historic caravan road to Konya that passes along the shore of Lake Eğirdir. According to its marble inscription, it was commissioned by the Seljuk atabeg Mübarizeddin Ertokuş in the first quarter of the 13th century. The han has a typical Seljuk plan consisting of an open courtyard and a covered winter section. Long affected by the rising waters of the lake, the building, now restored, is an important stop on the Gelendost road.
