Description

İncesu Mağarası (Incesu Cave) is located on the eastern slopes of the İncesu Stream. The cave is a karst cave with a main passage decorated with stalactites and stalagmites and dry rimstone pools, but it was known for a long time and has archaeological remains. The cave and the surrounding rock shelters show remains from the Stone Age, there was also a small settlement during Roman times. And unfortunately, the cave wasn’t spared the Turkish nonsense about ‘the cave cures asthma’ either.

Unfortunately there is almost no information available on this cave, so we do not have any info on size, tour, open hours or fee. If you visit the cave please send us first-hand info by email.
