A Turquoise Dream Where the Sea Dances with Light
Located between Kaş and Kalkan, the Blue Cave (Mavi Mağara) is a natural miracle accessible only by sea. It takes its name from the brilliant blue color created by sunlight reflecting off the seabed into the cave. Once a haven for Mediterranean monk seals, this cave is now one of the most popular diving and swimming spots in the region.

Measuring 50 meters long and 40 meters wide, the cave features various tunnels and galleries. Whether for snorkelers or scuba divers, the atmosphere created by these light plays offers an unforgettable experience.
