| Location: This cave-site lies southwest of the city of Antalya; 1 km northwest of the Somakli neighborhood of the village of Yagca; 1 km west of the neighborhood of Kocaköy and 2 km south-southwest of the Karain Cave. The location area of the cave is called Öküzkakligi Mevkii. |
| Geography and Environment: The Çarkini Cave lies in the limestone outcrop of Mount Katran; which lies northwest of the city of Antalya. The mouth of the cave faces south. It has been reported that the cave is difficult to reach because it lies 190 m above the terrace and because the entrance is partially blocked by limestone slabs. The height of the cave is questionable but it is reported the cave is 22 m long and 17 m wide. There is a small terrace by the cave entrance. The Kisrakdöllügü River flows beneath. The inhabitants of this cave may have used this stream as a water source. |
