Gilindire (Aynalıgöl) Cave
About 5 minutes by carSet on a hillside overlooking the sea near Aydıncık, Gilindire Cave is one of Turkey's most impressive caves, with stalactites and stalagmites formed over thousands of years.
At its deepest point lies a crystal-clear underground lake that mirrors the formations on the ceiling – hence the name Aynalıgöl, or 'mirror lake'. With well-kept walkways and lighting, it is suitable for visitors of all ages.
Cennet and Cehennem Sinkholes (Heaven and Hell)
Narlıkuyu, SilifkeNear Silifke, Cennet and Cehennem (Heaven and Hell) are two giant natural sinkholes formed as groundwater dissolved the limestone. A staircase of hundreds of steps leads down into the Cennet (Heaven) Sinkhole, at the bottom of which stands the Byzantine-era Church of the Virgin Mary.
The sheer walls of the neighbouring Cehennem (Hell) Sinkhole have inspired many legends. Combined with the nearby Astım (Dilek) Cave, it makes an ideal half-day trip.
