Explored in 1999, must see amazing cave 300 m long
May 21
The largest cave I've ever been to on the Anatolian coast. The tracks and lighting are done perfectly, everything is kept clean. The caretakers sometimes play flutes. The infrastructure at the entrance is decent: entrance, Parking, restaurant and souvenir shop

Well-developed infrastructure. The cave fascinates with its wild beauty. Stalactites and stalagmites of various shapes and shades are simply incredible, especially the "mother and child" near the underground lake.

Dim Cave is located on an elevation in the mountain and going inside you can choose two routes, a short one to the right and a long one to the left. One did not dare to go and did the right thing, on a weekday there were only 4 visitors in the cave. There is no way around the circle. First you have to constantly go down, then up, and when you reach a beautiful gallery with all sorts of scientifically named stalactites and so on, you also have to go back. Apparently, some time ago, the floors and flights of steps were replaced with iron ones with anti-slip fragments, because it is constantly damp in the cave, and somewhere it is constantly dripping. Pillars formed in such places, and growths joined from below and above. Going down the stairs, you couldn't see what was behind it, and when you went up the stairs, you could see the vast expanse of the cave between the steps. A little creepy). What I didn't like was the monochrome yellow lighting, the photos turn yellowish. If there had been multicolored lighting, the cave would have played with different angles. After returning to the entrance, I took a short route, there are steps that have not yet been replaced, but they are well preserved, because there is less humidity in this part of the cave. In some places, I couldn't get down and look around at the same time. I stopped to watch it. I recommend it to both adults and children, probably from the age of seven. Consider the steps!

The cave is peculiar in terms of the fact that if someone is so interested in "Stalactite" then well done! We got halfway there and decided to stop, as it was very humid, a little dark (beautiful lighting highlights the mountains), there were a lot of steps in them and then even more to the top.. moreover, we have already seen this and realized that plus or minus is the same thing.
And now about the main thing! Climbing and descending along the serpentine, where the millimeters are on the edge of the cliff and you can see how the stones are falling. One-way traffic, driving around is even more fun. Very extreme.

A cave with stalactites and stalagmites. About 300 meters in length. A mysterious and fascinating picture is in front of your eyes when you walk. It is comfortable to walk- a walkway and small metal stairs with handrails. The humidity is high, the smell of salt. There is a beautiful view of the mountains from the observation deck outside in front of the cave. There is a toilet and a cafe. Parking is paid. Drive to it along the serpentine with beautiful views.

One of the largest caves in Europe: almost half a kilometer in length. Inside it is very, very beautiful, covered in stalagmites and stalagmites - like a hedgehog from the inside. And at the end of the cave there is a lake where you can swim by boat. I liked it very much. Required to visit

It's not a bad cave to visit, everything is neatly prepared for visitors.
No special "wow" elements, but overall beautiful and mesmerizing.

It's good to visit the cave at this time of year: there are almost no people, you can wander around quietly, watching the thousand-year-old processes :) Quiet, calm, okay 🙃

You can walk through the cave in 7-8 minutes at a leisurely pace. Personally, I liked the caves in Krasnoyarsk more. It is difficult to evaluate the creation of nature, so I put four because of the cost, 480 lira for two (about 1200 rubles) is too expensive for such a short trip.

A must-visit if you find yourself in Alanya. We have seen many caves in different countries, but this is the first time we have seen such a large one. The price could have been lower (240 liras per person)

It is very beautiful and unusual. It's not often you can walk inside a mountain like this. The lighting is very successful, it creates an atmosphere. At the exit of the cave there are picturesque views of the mountains and the sea. I recommend you to visit.

If you want to feel like a cave dwarf, then you should go😆 Unfortunately, we were unable to walk the entire cave, as our guide gave us 30 minutes to do so, and we were exhausted halfway through the journey...It's damp and stuffy, my legs are tired of the stairs, in short, we haven't covered this distance...

Very interesting. I advise you to come without an excursion- there is an opportunity to spend time alone and enjoy the silence, taking your time.

An excellent cave in Alanya, to get by car or bus and on foot, there is a paid parking in front of the cave, from it you still have to climb a fairly long staircase to the entrance, there is a cafe and a souvenir shop at the entrance, an interesting illuminated cave, many stalactites and stalagmites, at the end of the cave there is a bench for rest, a test place, there is an awesome observation deck near the parking lot, Dimchai and many restaurants below, you can see the sea and majestic mountains, forest, nature, mountains, cave, a magnificent cocktail, a must-visit.

The cave is small, we were not particularly impressed, high humidity, it was difficult for people in weight to breathe, I saw them walking with great shortness of breath, we were there for no more than 20 minutes, we definitely would not want to return a second time.

A great place, a beautiful observation deck nearby, I advise you to get there on your own and take your time to look at the beauty.
It is better to be in clear weather, then you can see the tops of the mountains and the territory is clearly visible.
Parking is paid 10lir

The cave is great!!! It was in June 2024. Entrance for adults is 200 . As I understand it, our travel agencies do not carry excursions (fan and sun for sure). We took a taxi . The views are gorgeous. I advise everyone. They write that the temperature is 18 degrees, I took sweaters, but I didn't need them, I'm comfortable in a T-shirt in the cave. When you leave the cave, you can smell the sharp smell of pine needles, because there is a coniferous forest around.

The cave is quite large and beautiful. We got there by car, the road is a bit confusing, but you won't get lost. Stalactites and stalagmites in the cave form intricate shapes. Important: the temperature in the cave is noticeably lower than outside in summer. You can take a break from the heat. But, alas, there is high humidity, I personally came out of there all wet.

A very fascinating and picturesque place! I advise you to get to the cave yourself, in the late afternoon, when the tour buses are already leaving! Admission on May 5, 2024 was 200 rubles per person.
How to get there on your own:
1.If you live closer to the center, then take bus 101 or 1 to the fork
2. Transfer to bus 202B and go to the bus stop "Alanya University"
3. From the university it is very simple and easy to walk in a straight line (there are signs) to a small hill
For convenience, download the Moovit app. You can build a bus route in it, it will show where you need to transfer and get off :)
And so don't get lost! Well, some water )

Great cave! Conveys a special, magical atmosphere of the place, it is preferable to visit in the hours before closing to avoid crowding and get a better look and feel! The cave is quite long, so if you are a bit claustrophobic, then it is better to refrain

We visited the cave on 30.07.2024, yes, it's great. The cave is divided internally into 2 caves, a small one of 50 meters and a large one of 350 meters. You can watch it once.
I didn't see anything special... the views from the height of the cave, yes, I am mesmerizing, the cave was not particularly impressed. I apologize for the confusion in writing, there are no emotions, hence the text)

Unusual impressions! Great place, especially when you're alone there
The cave leaves an unusual impression if you have never been to karst caves before.
It is especially atmospheric when there are few people in the evening and you are left alone in some part of the cave ..
Beautiful, tasteful lighting.
It is quite possible to reach the cave from Mahmutlar on foot (10km).. if you are in normal physical shape and have a supply of water))

I really liked the cave, but the price is not. 150 lire for one, was there on January 4, 2024)
It is best to come in the evening, 1.5 hours before closing time, then you will be alone and will be able to enjoy all the beauty, silence and be alone by the lake). I was in the cave during a downpour, so I was able to enjoy the sounds of the water.
I went up to the cave without transport, the beauty around is incredible, they also have paid parking (if you drive).

You can also go with the kids. It's the safest cave I've ever seen. If you are by car, I advise you, it is better to arrive in the evening, buses with tourists are leaving, no one. Moving around an empty cave is much more interesting than in a stream of onlookers. Cool, high! The second largest cave in Turkey. It is located on the slope of Mount Jebel and Reis. The cave consists of two parts, with a total length of 410 meters. At the very end of the cave there is a small blue salt lake, into which rainwater flows, which formed this beautiful natural object a million years ago. Dim Cave is almost completely covered with stalagmites and stalactites — mineral formations similar to icicles. They have various shapes, sizes and shades and are the main real attraction, which is simply impossible not to admire. In some places, minerals form bizarre patterns, in others — columns, human portraits, incredible in size and shape, in others — giant "dragon teeth", "ancient castles" and "pyramids". The main hall of Dim Cave is so tall and majestic that we just seem tiny and defenseless here. The temperature and humidity do not change throughout the year and are +18...19°C. Locals have noticed this place for a long time. After catching wild animals, the hunters rested here and recuperated. Only since 1986 has the cave become what we saw it today – an unforgettable and magnificent attraction!

As entertainment, you can go. But keep in mind, the roads are very dangerous. We took a sightseeing tour of Alanya, it included a visit to the Dim cave. We drove over the cliff 4 times during the whole tour. Scary, indescribable.
In the cave itself, you just walk, walk and walk. Then up, then down. The humidity is very high. Of course, they tell about the healing properties of visiting the cave. But I don't know. At that moment I was sick, there was a stuffy nose, I will not say that everything went abruptly)

The entrance is 5 Euros at 03.24. Given the local craving for extortion, the entrance price is very adequate. A really interesting location for people with a wild imagination. The cave is warm and humid - no extra clothes are required. It is better to arrive an hour after the opening, when those who were waiting for the opening have already passed, but they have not yet brought the packages.

A cool cave and the road to it, if driving, is very impressive. Like New Athos, only smaller. Inside, the Turks are playing their pipes atmospherically. The cafe is good at the exit above the parking lot.
After it, you can drive to the reservoir, it is higher up the river, which is visible below. There's a tall bridge with a gorgeous view.

Two descents : 310m and 50m. Stalactites, stalagmites. Out of breath when leaving the cave, you immediately fill your nostrils with a coniferous aroma. I recommend it to everyone to visit!

A very interesting cave that can be reached by car, guided tour or on foot. I walked to it from the university, a very pleasant road, a huge cave with many stalactites and stalagmites and a small lake at the very end of the cave. Nearby there is a cafe with a pleasant menu, a souvenir shop and paid parking if you drive by car.

A large cave for relatively little money. The pictures are cool both inside and outside, there is every souvenir in front of the entrance.
By the way, you can easily get there on your own even by public transport (202 bus, go to the final one - university, then three kilometers of smooth ascent).
