| Location: The cave; which is located on the western edge of the Bicakci Polje; 3 km east of the Derebucak District; can be reached from two roads. The most practical one is the asphalt road between Beysehir and Derebucak; the rest being stabilized. The other one is through the Camlik Town on the Beysehir-Manavgat road. Similarly; the section until Camlik is asphalt while the rest is stabilized. This cave which lies to the immediate right of the Bicakci Sinkhole Cave can also be reached from the same road. |
