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.
