It is located on the eastern slope of Kocadere which flows only in winter. The easiest access is by the sea; going to the bay the creek spills into; which is then followed by an approximately 45 minute walk to reach to the entrance. The sands and stones on the floor as well as the remarks of recent corrosion reveal the hydrological function of this karstic formation. It was explored by BUMAK in 1982; and mapped to the BCRA 4c standards. It was found out the the cave is longer; but the exploration could not have been completed.
