It is possible to observe the similar situation in other inns. The upper floor of the New Inn is designed to accommodate passengers. Regular rooms lined up side by side cause a beautiful ambience. Black and yellow cut stones are used on the walls of the inn. The room used as a barn at the entrance of the inn is evaluated as a quarry in the first periods. This place is later converted into a barn for passengers who come with their animals. Likewise, Kaleoğlu cave is also found in this area.
