It is very beautiful and unusual. It's not often you can walk inside a mountain like this. The lighting is very successful, it creates an atmosphere. At the exit of the cave there are picturesque views of the mountains and the sea. I recommend you to visit.

A great place, a beautiful observation deck nearby, I advise you to get there on your own and take your time to look at the beauty.
It is better to be in clear weather, then you can see the tops of the mountains and the territory is clearly visible.
Parking is paid 10lir

The cave is great!!! It was in June 2024. Entrance for adults is 200 . As I understand it, our travel agencies do not carry excursions (fan and sun for sure). We took a taxi . The views are gorgeous. I advise everyone. They write that the temperature is 18 degrees, I took sweaters, but I didn't need them, I'm comfortable in a T-shirt in the cave. When you leave the cave, you can smell the sharp smell of pine needles, because there is a coniferous forest around.

The cave is quite large and beautiful. We got there by car, the road is a bit confusing, but you won't get lost. Stalactites and stalagmites in the cave form intricate shapes. Important: the temperature in the cave is noticeably lower than outside in summer. You can take a break from the heat. But, alas, there is high humidity, I personally came out of there all wet.

Great cave! Conveys a special, magical atmosphere of the place, it is preferable to visit in the hours before closing to avoid crowding and get a better look and feel! The cave is quite long, so if you are a bit claustrophobic, then it is better to refrain

Unusual impressions! Great place, especially when you're alone there
The cave leaves an unusual impression if you have never been to karst caves before.
It is especially atmospheric when there are few people in the evening and you are left alone in some part of the cave ..
Beautiful, tasteful lighting.
It is quite possible to reach the cave from Mahmutlar on foot (10km).. if you are in normal physical shape and have a supply of water))

We visited the cave on 30.07.2024, yes, it's great. The cave is divided internally into 2 caves, a small one of 50 meters and a large one of 350 meters. You can watch it once.
I didn't see anything special... the views from the height of the cave, yes, I am mesmerizing, the cave was not particularly impressed. I apologize for the confusion in writing, there are no emotions, hence the text)

A very fascinating and picturesque place! I advise you to get to the cave yourself, in the late afternoon, when the tour buses are already leaving! Admission on May 5, 2024 was 200 rubles per person.
How to get there on your own:
1.If you live closer to the center, then take bus 101 or 1 to the fork
2. Transfer to bus 202B and go to the bus stop "Alanya University"
3. From the university it is very simple and easy to walk in a straight line (there are signs) to a small hill
For convenience, download the Moovit app. You can build a bus route in it, it will show where you need to transfer and get off :)
And so don't get lost! Well, some water )

You can also go with the kids. It's the safest cave I've ever seen. If you are by car, I advise you, it is better to arrive in the evening, buses with tourists are leaving, no one. Moving around an empty cave is much more interesting than in a stream of onlookers. Cool, high! The second largest cave in Turkey. It is located on the slope of Mount Jebel and Reis. The cave consists of two parts, with a total length of 410 meters. At the very end of the cave there is a small blue salt lake, into which rainwater flows, which formed this beautiful natural object a million years ago. Dim Cave is almost completely covered with stalagmites and stalactites — mineral formations similar to icicles. They have various shapes, sizes and shades and are the main real attraction, which is simply impossible not to admire. In some places, minerals form bizarre patterns, in others — columns, human portraits, incredible in size and shape, in others — giant "dragon teeth", "ancient castles" and "pyramids". The main hall of Dim Cave is so tall and majestic that we just seem tiny and defenseless here. The temperature and humidity do not change throughout the year and are +18...19°C. Locals have noticed this place for a long time. After catching wild animals, the hunters rested here and recuperated. Only since 1986 has the cave become what we saw it today – an unforgettable and magnificent attraction!

As entertainment, you can go. But keep in mind, the roads are very dangerous. We took a sightseeing tour of Alanya, it included a visit to the Dim cave. We drove over the cliff 4 times during the whole tour. Scary, indescribable.
In the cave itself, you just walk, walk and walk. Then up, then down. The humidity is very high. Of course, they tell about the healing properties of visiting the cave. But I don't know. At that moment I was sick, there was a stuffy nose, I will not say that everything went abruptly)

I really liked the cave, but the price is not. 150 lire for one, was there on January 4, 2024)
It is best to come in the evening, 1.5 hours before closing time, then you will be alone and will be able to enjoy all the beauty, silence and be alone by the lake). I was in the cave during a downpour, so I was able to enjoy the sounds of the water.
I went up to the cave without transport, the beauty around is incredible, they also have paid parking (if you drive).

The entrance is 5 Euros at 03.24. Given the local craving for extortion, the entrance price is very adequate. A really interesting location for people with a wild imagination. The cave is warm and humid - no extra clothes are required. It is better to arrive an hour after the opening, when those who were waiting for the opening have already passed, but they have not yet brought the packages.

Я дошла до нее пешком от университета, очень приятная дорога, огромная пещера со множеством сталактитов и сталагмитов и маленькое озеро в самом конце пещеры. Рядом есть кафе с приятным меню, сувенирная лавка и платная парковка если ехать на автомобиле.

Классная пещера и дорога на нее, если за рулем, очень впечатляет. Как новоафонская, только поменьше. Внутри атмосферно играет на дудке турок. Кафе хорошее на выходе над парковкой.
После нее можно на водохранилище сгонять, оно выше по реке, которую видно внизу. Там высоченный мост с шикарным видом.

Очень атмосферное место.
Добирались самостоятельно. Единственное, не дождалась 202 автобуса, так как интервал движения на тот момент был увеличен до часа, поэтому доехали на автобусе, который едет в сторону Махмутлар, вышли где-то на пересечении с Univercite cad., далее шли по прямой до университета, а уже от самого университета путь составляет 3.2 км. Добираться от университета где-то час неспеша (не забывайте, что путь вверх, поэтому темп не такой, как если идти прямо, но всё зависит от скорости, конечно). На всем пути красивые виды на горы. Где-то в середине будет кафешка и лавочки с фруктами. Видела в отзывах, что рекомендуется к посещению утром, но мы добрались до пещеры где-то 2-3 дня, кроме нас было человек 5 (может чуть больше).
