| Location: It lies on the base of a big uvala at Saklisu Mevkii; which is located 5 km northwest of Bahceköy; 13 km northeast to the Saray District of Tekirdag. It is reached from Bahceköy on the Saray-Kiyiköy road. The road running from Bahceköy to Saklisu leads near to the cave. The Saklisu Cave is located next to the Ceneviz Cave. |
| Geography and Environment: The vicinity of the Ceneviz Cave was formed within the Paleozoic milonoitic gneisses belonging to the Istranca Massif; overlaid by the Triassic schists; and the Eocene aged Kirklareli limestones on the top. The deepest point of the Ceneviz Cave; which consists of two storey formed at different periods; is -26 m and the highest point is +6m. The connection between the two levels is provided by large depression halls. The upper level which was formed during the Pliocene epoch has been entirely fossilized. The cave hydrogeologically consists of three parts: the upper fossil level whose formation was completely halted; the semi-active part which gets involved when the sinkhole in the cave becomes occluded during rainy seasons; and the active level in the lower part. There is an intense dripstone decoration; particularly in the gallery and halls of the fossil level. The formation of these figures; consisting of helictites; stalagmites and wall dripstones and columns in patches; is very fast. |
