It is at the sea level; on the southern edge of the Asirlik Island located between Kale and Ucagiz. The boat passes by the cave while travelling from the Cayagzi Beach which has been used as a quay of the Kale Village to the village. It was developed within the Tertiary Period limestones as a result of abrasion by sea. The roof height is 10 m and the depth of sea water is 1-2 m. The islets inside the cave are comprised by the rock blocks fallen from the ceiling. It is covered with water as it is at the sea level [Güldali et al. 1991:16].
