Kargı Han is north of the Kargı River in the village of Beydiğin, within the Manavgat borders, west of Alanya.

Because the caravanserai has no inscription, there is no information about its construction year. It is a stone structure 46 meters wide and 50 meters long. It is thought to have been used as a caravanserai at the Kesikbel site on the road connecting the Mediterranean with the Central Anatolia Region during the Roman, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. All of its rooms have air shafts in their ceilings and the rooms are arranged around the central courtyard. Opposite the gate there are stone-carved fixed animal feeding troughs. The building is in a ruined state, but the District Governorship and the General Directorate of Foundations have started works to restore the caravanserai (2010).
