Location: The mosque is located in the corner of Skiathou Str and 9 Merarchias Str, in the old quarter of Sounne Mahalesi and forms part of a larger building complex.
The Monument: The mosque is a quadrilateral building with an elevated gallery. The simple mihrab is adorned with oriental barroque-style motifs. The mimbar’s ornamentation is also simple. There is an interesting inscription on the façade outside the building that reads Οraya esenlikle güven içinde girin (=Enter in peace and you will be safe).
The minaret is constructed with white marble and its base is constructed with grey marble.
