Location: This cave-site lies east of the former settlement of Döngel Village and west of the new one which is 38 km; as the crow flies; northwest of the city of Kahramanmaras. |
Geography and Environment: The presence of many caves in the vicinity suggests that it is a karstic region (for more information on the caves in this area; see the site of Yaglik in this volume). Direkli Cave faces south and Tekir Stream flows west of the cave. There must be nearby springs. |
