Location: It can be reached from the Saray-Kiyiköy or Vize-Kiyiköy roads. The road running to Kastro from Kiyiköy passes through the upper part of the Büyük Kurudere Creek where the cave is located.
Geography and Environment: It was formed within the Eocene limestones near the contact zone of Eocene limestones in the Istranca Massif. It is a fossil cave which halted its development. Therefore; it is entirely dry except the waters leaking from roof and side walls.
