| Location: This cave-site is in Obaköy Village; which is 3.8 km from the town center of Alanya; southeast of the city of Antalya. The cave is located in a deep valley on the Gömerme Hill in Kadipinari Mevkii. This valley is to the northeast of Oba stream and Yayla-Degirmendere road. It is also known as Kadipinari/Kadiini cave due to its location but the local name is Gavurini. |
| Geography and Environment: The cave; which has a ceiling height of 10-20 m; is pretty large and deep. The big rocks in the entrance do not block the entry. It is 50 m high from the road. |
| Destruction Details: There are pits of illicit diggings at the entrance of the cave [TAYEx 22.6.2001]. |
