Dim Cave

An Underground Palace in the Heart of the Taurus Mountains

Situated east of Alanya overlooking the Dim River Valley, Dim Cave is considered one of Turkey’s most beautiful and best-organized caves. Consisting of four major chambers across its 360-meter length, the cave resembles an underground forest due to the diversity of its stalactites and stalagmites.

The Lake and Panoramic Views

At the end of the cave, a dreamlike small lake awaits visitors. The professional lighting inside showcases this millions-of-years-old natural art in the most striking way. Furthermore, the observation terrace at the cave entrance offers a panoramic view of the Dim River Valley and Alanya Castle.
