Sip Kurdish coffee in the courtyard of a historic Ottoman inn.
Sülüklü Han is a 17th-century Ottoman inn that takes its name from the leeches ("sülük") said to have lived in the well in its courtyard.
Today its courtyard is one of the nicest stops in the old town for Kurdish coffee (menengiç, made from terebinth) or tea in the shade of the basalt arches.
Concierge tipIt is a short walk from the Grand Mosque and Hasan Pasha Inn, so you can easily combine all three.
