Dim Cave — Attraction in Alanya

I had the chance to visit Antalya Dim Cave, and it enchanted me with its natural beauty. The cave is situated by the Dim River, within Antalya's refreshing nature, and truly offers a unique experience. As I stepped into the cave, I was mesmerized by the stalactite and stalagmite formations and the impressive interior design. The play of light and the peaceful sound of water create an even more enchanting atmosphere. With its natural beauty and visual spectacle, the cave must be a fantastic spot for photographers. Especially on hot summer days, being inside the cave and next to the Dim River provided a delightful experience with its cool air. I had a serene time in this beautiful location embraced by nature. During my visit, the tour guide's explanations helped me learn more about the cave and how time shaped these stalactites, which left me in awe of the power of nature. Antalya Dim Cave is a great option for visitors as it is close to the city center and easily accessible. The positive reviews I read from tourism offices and online platforms played a significant role in planning my visit, and I truly found more...

Went there for some sightseeing. I would not book a whole tour but rather rent a car or scooter and go up there yourself, the whole trip is a gift already. It’s high up in the mountains and you’ll probably want to stop here and there to have a look around.

Inside the cave it’s quite amazing seeing how nature does her thing spanning over thousands of years. It’s quite large but inside takes about an hour. Depending how you climb those stairs or crawl up and down. Considering the price for a ticket inside it’s definitely worth a look. Even the kids after complaining they don’t want to look at some boring rocks, found it very interesting and somewhat thrilling. They are 5 and 9.

Outside we had something small to eat which was reasonable nothing spectacular and the kids had some ice cream. We had a few fun hours before we went down...
