Location: It lies on the Aladaglar Mazmili Plateau. The region is surrounded by massive and fractured dolomitic rocks. It is located on the southeastern end of the basin; and it is the only drainage of the area.
Geography and Environment: First it gives an impression of a horizontal extension; however after 25 m; it continues with mainly 5-10 m and sometimes up to 25 m descents. The roof height reaches to 25-30 m in average. The Mazmili Highland is a general name for the area extending between the Karanfil Mountain; Yelatan Plateau; Sarimsak Mountain and Dagdibi Village. Having an average altitude of 1750 m; it has a tectonic-window like surface among the Liassic aged dolomite and Ophiolitic crust units. The Camliköy (also called Camlikköy) Sinkhole was formed as a result of the water flowing on impermeable units; corroding the dolomites in the contact zones of those two units.
