Location: It is located on a 750 m high hill; south of the Evciler Village of Ezine. It can be reached by a half-an-hour walk from the village.
Geography and Environment: There is an inclining hall in the entrance; which houses rocky blocks fallen from the ceiling. A siphon diving was performed in the active gallery; which elongates as a side branch and joins the river. The water resurges from the first siphon at 50 m after the entrance. This siphon is 61 m long and 9 m deep; and it is followed by a 25 m long dry marble gallery with a stream of air. Bats; flies and snails were seen; but no outside connection was found. The second siphon could have been only passed by removing the rocks in water due to the narrow passages. There is a 80 m dry gallery between the 1st and 2nd siphons. The third siphon on the side branch ends up being occluded while the dry gallery becomes occluded by big rocky blocks at the end.
