Nice place to visit. We had bad weather during our weakation and decided to visit the cave. Nice attraction for about 30-45 minutes. Two trails one about 300 meters, a lot of stares, and one 50 meters.

People have already written how to get there below. We rented a car and visited several places during the day. The self-driving option is convenient because you don't walk in a crowd with a tour bus. Along the way, you can admire the scenery and meet turtles on the road. The views in the cave are magnificent. For people with visual perception, it is a good opportunity to see fantastic beasts and magical castles in stalactites and stalagmites. Nature works wonders. If you're lucky, a live flute performed by a local resident will be playing in the cave. The melody will also add romance and mystery...

a very beautiful and large cave! Before that, there were incomparable things in Damlatash cave. There is a good cafe on site with large portions at good prices. The toilet is decent, there is a souvenir shop. We were satisfied!!!

It was in early September 2026. In general, I recommend visiting, especially if you like this format of natural attractions. The cave is not difficult to pass. The first corridor is about 50 meters, almost horizontal. The second one is about 300 meters, already with height differences, so it's more interesting there. Of course, Dimskaya Cave is noticeably smaller in scale than the famous caves of Abkhazia, but it's probably not worth comparing them directly. If you're in the Alanya area and you like caves, it's worth a visit. From the practical: the cave is open until 19:00, the entrance of visitors ends at 18:30. As of September 2026, the entrance fee was 300 Turkish lira. In general, it is a good place for a short trip and a change of impressions. 👍

It's a great place. The views are impressive. Definitely worth a visit for those who are in Alanya. The path goes off into the distance, and the edge is not visible. Then ascent, then descent. In places, you can touch the hanging "icicles". You need to be a little careful because the floor is wet. The cave itself is not very long, 20-30 minutes is enough to see and take pictures of everything.

An atmospheric place, a huge number of stalactites and stalogmites. It's not cold, but it's better to wear something with long sleeves. You'll have to climb the stairs pretty well, older people need to calculate their strength. Also, do not wear long clothes and light ones, most likely there will be spots: dripping from above, small puddles on the floor that leave stains on clothes. It's worth a visit, but the place is a bit gloomy, you have to keep that in mind.

There are two caves there: a big one and a small one. It makes sense to go to the big one. It's unusually beautiful there, the passages are long, the ascents and descents are a bit slippery. Sometimes an old musician plays a pipe there, the acoustics are good.

We got there with adventures, rented bicycles for 200 lire. We drove from Cleopatra beach for 6 hours, the navigator took the wrong route, through the wrong village, and there was also a road repair, not far from orange plantations, 15m catacombs were dragged by bicycles on their hands 😬 Bottom line: we met extreme jeeping on a mountain road where the slope is 40 degrees up. In short, unforgettable adventures 😅 And the caves are good, 310m to the left of the hall and 50m to the right. A very unusual landscape

We drove there in a rented car. Admission is 6 euros (or 300 lire). For this money, there are two routes at once: a short one for 50 meters, and a long one for as much as 300 meters. In October, it's just perfect here: there aren't many people, literally five people, and they seem to be hiding in corners on purpose. No one is pushing, shouting "Take a photo!" in my ear, or trying to overtake me on a turn to be the first to see the underground lake. You can look at everything calmly, stand, breathe in this special cave air and just be alone with the beauty. But she's here. Stalactites, stalagmites, bizarre streaks — everything shimmers in the illumination, as if someone specially placed the lanterns so that each stone looked like a jewel. And at the very end there is an underground lake.You stand and look at this surface, and it seems that time flows differently here. Dim Cave is a real rehabilitation for everyone who has been disappointed by other underground attractions. It's large—scale, beautiful, atmospheric - and, what's especially nice, there's no dripping overhead. If you're thinking about whether it's worth a visit, definitely yes.

I definitely recommend this place to visit, in 2026 parking for a car costs 30 liras, the entrance to the cave itself costs 7 dollars, there is a great view of the gorge at the entrance to the cave and the cave itself is very beautiful, it's not cold inside, but it's stuffy.

It's just magical! A huge cave with magnificent stalactites and stalagmites, well equipped for comfortable movement through it. Damlatash Cave, which is located in Alanya itself, cannot even be compared to it! Dim cave is located not far from Alanya, very close to the village of Kestel, and it can be reached from the highway from the village by regular bus - just a few stops. However, then you have to walk two or three kilometers uphill along the canyon, enjoying the mountain landscapes along the way. But you are guaranteed an unforgettable experience! A lazier, but less budget-friendly option is to take a taxi 🙂 or a rented car. To fully enjoy the beauty of the cave in proud solitude, I recommend going here in the off-season, as there are a lot of people here in the summer. Payment for tickets is made on the spot at the ticket office in cash, and a bank card is not needed, as at other facilities of the Turkish Ministry of Tourism.

The place is impressive. I would recommend to take a look. The gorge itself is very beautiful. Pine trees, the air. There is a very peculiar atmosphere in the cave. It's good that there are these platforms and ladders. I can't imagine how scary it was there without them. And without light.

It's something fantastic and incredible. I rented a bike and rode to this cave on my own. On the way I was at the farm, in the orange orchard. The cave itself is huge with amazing formations, stoloctites and stalogmites.I went there completely alone, because I arrived there for the opening. It's warm and humid. I highly recommend you to visit.

We visited Dim Cave as part of an excursion from Alanya. My impressions are mixed. The cave itself is interesting, with beautiful stalactites and lighting, but the organization leaves much to be desired. The crowd of people was very disturbing, because of the large number of tourists it was cramped and uncomfortable. The climb to the cave took a long time, everyone was tired, and the view from the entrance area was not particularly impressive — I expected more. It is better to arrive on your own and not during the peak season to avoid the hustle and bustle.

A very interesting place, I advise you to visit. Very close to Alanya. If you go by car, you can get there in 30 minutes. You will be surprised that you have come from the city to a completely different Alanya, pine trees grow along the road, open the window and feel the hot pine smell. The road will climb up, a picturesque road where at every turn you will be delighted by the beauty of the mountains. Finally, you will enter the territory of the park where the cave is located. There will be a large parking lot, there is some kind of payment for parking. Climb up the stairs and enjoy an amazing view of the gorge, the road below, Alanya and the sea. It feels completely different than in the city. A real little trip. It is worth saying that there are many mountain roads around Alanya, all of them are very beautiful

07/29/2025 admission is 240 liras per person. We walked from Mahmutlar, but we didn't wait for buses (55, 101, 202-B). We met a standing 101 just outside the university. We like to walk, and the walk didn't seem very tiring to us. The views along the way are amazing. The cave is wonderful, very beautiful halls with lighting (it's just a pity that tourists make a destructive contribution). Amazing coolness after the heat. We were lucky that there were no tour buses in our time, we took a quiet walk, and a man was magically playing an instrument in one of the halls. On the way back, an unknown Turk offered to give us a ride for free, it was very unexpected, we agreed :)

You need to visit. The entire viewing will take about 30 minutes, but it is very tiring. I think it's because of the low oxygen content in the cave. It's cool, but stuffy. You will have to overcome a large number of steps. We took the sweaters, but we didn't use them. Bonus, view from the observation deck.

The place is colorful, the entrance cost was 6 euros per adult, if in dollars, then 7. For a child under 11 years old, 50% discount. Inside the stairs, it's up and down, well, it's like a cave and it's natural, but if you don't stop and walk, you can get out of breath, of course, but they say that breathing that air is useful, maybe it's for the best))). And so, for visiting caves with stalactites and stalagmites, this is probably a very good thing.

Moreover, it was opened not so long ago, of course, there is 100% humidity inside, it is not cold, but I would not be able to stay there for a long time. And yet, there are a lot of stairs, oh so many. 😃 Basically, you need to climb to the top . And there are also very cool acoustics, we were on a guided tour, I recommend it.

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.

A fantastic place, magical. The scenery for the film based on Harry Potter. The main thing is to reach the very end of the long arm of the cave. There you will find a small lake with crystal clear and absolutely still water. Very impressive. It's better to arrive an hour before closing time. There are no tourists anymore. Take a walk in silence and solitude.

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!

According to the expert, the cave was opened in 1986 during the construction of the road. Inside, an iron walkway with railings reaches an underground lake. It's pretty slimy and creepy at first, but you soon get used to it. The scale conveys the photo poorly, but the eyes are more powerful.
