| Structural Properties and formation : It is a horizontal cave with small descents. It was formed within the Jura-Cretaceous limestones of the Anamas-Akseki autochthonous sequence; developing in a single hall. There is no or very little decorations inside; however local people informed that ice decorations are seen in spring. The roof height is 3-6 m and the width reaches up to 30 m at some places. The inner temperature of the cave was measured as 9 degrees in September; which is very low compared to the other caves in the vicinity. |
