🌬️ Okuzini Cave

Öküzini Cave, also known as "oxen cave," is located in southwestern Turkey around 32 km northwest of modern Antalya. Situated at the base of the Katran Mountains, the cave overlooks a floodplain stretching towards Antalya and is 900 meters northeast of Karain, a nearby complex of caves. The mouth of the Öküzini Cave is nearly sealed off by large stone blocks, but inside, it has a main chamber reaching 20 meters deep into limestone clefts that further branch into narrow passages. The cave's geological surroundings are marked by the presence of Karst springs in its vicinity, some of which supply drinking water to nearby villages.
