- Mevlevi Tekke Museum
Mevlevi Tekke Museum was built about in the late of 16th century by Arab Ahmet Pasha after the island was captured by Ottoman Empire in 1571. Between 16th century and 1920 the building was used as a lodge until lodges were prohibited by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. It was used for the religious purposes until its last sheikh was died in 1955 and the building was converted into a museum because of its aesthetic and historical worth.
