| It is located on a steep slope of the Tüfekkumu Hill facing northwest on the upper bank of the Kiste Creek spilling into the Cavus (Adrasan) Bay. It can be reached by a 45 minute walk from the Bahceler Quarter. It was formed on a very fractured weak zone within the Cretaceous aged limestones. It has a wide volume; and the bottom is covered by blocks of rocks. Through the end of cave was formed a chimney as a result of roof collapse. A narrow corridor to the west of the entrance hall leads into a side branch fully adorned with travertines. There is a 25 m deep shaft at the end of this branch. It is a dry cave. Plenty of guano was observed; indicating that it has been inhabited by bats in winter. It was explored by MTA. |
