Dim Cave
About this place
Dim Cave in Alanya is a fascinating natural attraction that makes for a great half-day excursion from the city. Located in the Dim Valley (Dim Cay area), northeast of Alanya city centre, the cave is one of the largest stalactite caves in Turkey and offers a cool, atmospheric walk through illuminated rock formations. The view of the canyon from the approach is lovely, and the cave itself is an interesting and unusual place to visit compared to the typical beach-focused things to do in Alanya. It's particularly appealing on hot summer days, as the temperature inside the cave is noticeably cooler than outside. Be aware that there are some steep stairs along the route inside, so wear comfortable shoes. The cave is accessible by car from Alanya, and you can combine the visit with a stop at the Dim Cay river area, where there are several riverside restaurants and picnic spots nearby. We'd recommend checking the official website for the most up-to-date visiting information before making the trip from Alanya.
