Gilindire Cave

Breathtaking views scenery both outside and inside must see. Entry fee as of today was 19TL definitely with it. I recommend once inside cave go all the way down first then slowly come back up enjoying cave views as straight up can be tiring. Great lake view at bottom.

These caves are a must visit if you are anywhere near. They are massive and truly one off earth natural wonders. There are so many large stalactites and stalactites and columns and there is lighting there to show them off. It's a long way down but there is a clear water lake at the very bottom. There is a man made metal stairs to the very bottom and it's 320 steps back up to the cave entrance. It's very warm in the caves. Big free car park, tarmac road to get there. There is a coffee restaurant and toilets and the ticket price is about 24 lira.

This is the most beautiful cave I have seen so far. The entrance is located on the wall overlooking the sea and you have to go down the stairs in order to reach it. Once inside, the number and size of stalactites will take your breath away. You just have to go deeper and deeper, across open areas and small path until you reach the amazing lake that lies at the bottom of it. If you are driving around Southern Turkey, don't miss the opportunity to visit this cave! The entrance fee was less than 2€.

An amazing view opens up before your eyes - green trees, blue waters and high rocks. The colors are stunning, the height - impressive.
Going into the cave you feel a sudden heat wave, the lights are dim and the oxygen is low. There are quite many stairs, but it's worth it once you see the astonishing beauty of the cave structures. There is a crystal-like shining layer over the rocks.
At the bottom you see a crystal clear lake witb rocks reflecting from its calm waters.
It's the most beautiful cave I've ever see! ❤🇹🇷🗻

The most stunning cavern I have seen! I was left speechless so many times on the journey down to the lagoon at the bottom. Has to be a bucket list item.

This cave is amazingly beautiful and the management has done a very good job of making it accessible. The entire length of the attraction, from the top of the hill to the bottom of the cave is paved with metal walkways with rails and great traction. Myself and many of the other guests were fat and out of shape but it is still easy to get to the bottom and back to the top again if you take a slow pace. It is very hot and very humid inside the cave so you will get very very sweaty. I recommend bringing a second shirt you can change into before leaving.

A longer drive from Mersin than Heaven & Hell caves but so much better! If you go early you can enjoy the cave all to yourself (or almost). Definitely worth the trip!

Super cool seaside cave 🌊🦇🤩

This cave is pretty remarkable because it's a stones throw away from the Mediterranean Sea but as you go down it's winding corridors you actually stumble onto a small underground freshwater lake that's crystal clear turquoise blue 💙🔵💙

I honestly don't think I have seen a cave quite like this one as far as sheer size of the chambers of the cave as well as the actual size of the structures inside of the cave goes 🤯

Going down the rusty staircase of death which brings you from the cliffside down by the ocean into the mouth of the cave You get some pretty great views of the coastline and a phenomenal little sunset viewpoint 👌👌👌

I really enjoyed climbing around this big bad girl and the giant lagoon in the bottom of this cavern was the icing on the cake 💝🌠😍

Beautiful limestone formations though with lots of stairs - 568 steps going in and then you start back. That does not count the ramp leading to the stairs. The fee was very reasonable. The blue pool at the bottom is beautiful and clear!

Absolutely a unique experience which you won’t see it elsewhere easily. So definitely visit the place when around Mersin or on the way from Mersin to the west. Would recommend a bottle of water and try to save it for the return way up out of the cave.

OMG is the right way to start. Mesmerising cave. 450 meters of unbelievable scene. I am surprised that it is not so well known in Turkey. Hidden treasure of the Mediterranean. If you happen to be in the area you have to visit. Not accessible for wheelchair and get ready for lots of steps.

Unexpectedly top location! A stunningly beautiful cave with a lake! A must visit!

The caves inside is so hot and wet... I think it's an amazing place in the Mersin. I think, you should get a bottle of water, and there is a ladder from out to the lake and ladder is so long... and lastly I offer you get there

One of the largest caves that i visited, it's located near Silifke in Mersin province, entry fee is cheap, but prepare yourself for real stairs exercise, and as you dive deep into the cave it becomes hard to breath, so not recommend for asthma patients. The water craved amazing shapes inside the cavities, and at the end of the cave you reach a crystal clear lake where the cave meets the sea. If you have some time, don't forget to stand on the peak of the mountain before starting to get down to enter the cave, there you can enjoy a wonderful view of the sea and cold sea breeze.

Fabulous place of nature with thousands years of being. It was also wonderful that stairs and lights are provided so visitors can walk down and also it helps to save the place untouched

Beautiful place. An incredible experience! Mortal Kombat World ))) This is a must see.

Well worth a visit it cost less than 2 pounds for 2 people amazing

A "must see" if you are around. Let the nature astounish you. You need to step down into a cliff looking at great mediterranean see. Do not expect much from the facility around. You can have a guided tour as well.

Visited in winter was pretty humid inside
Make sure you are not wearing heavy clothes

Fantastic cave. Very diep. Pity that not much information about how fiep you have to walk.
But it worth..
