Damlataş Cave

Beautiful natural cave with great price (150 TLR per person) but you can only pay with card, they don’t take cash. We visited at 10 am and there were only about 5 people inside but after a few minutes a large group of over 50 rude tourists (guess the nationality) appeared and crammed up the whole place. The number of people allowed in the cave should be regulated because there was nowhere to move. There are signs saying how you shouldn’t be loud or how you shouldn’t touch the stalagmites but people don’t care, they were sitting on the stalagmites, climbing over the railings and not following paths, shouting and ruining the overall experience for us.

Damlataş Cave is a small and simple place, but it is truly beautiful and worth a visit. The natural formations inside are fascinating, and even though the cave is not very large, it has a unique charm that makes the experience special. The ticket price is very reasonable, and I really appreciated that they offer a student discount for those studying in Türkiye, which makes it even more affordable. The staff at the entrance were polite, helpful, and welcoming, which made the visit more pleasant. It doesn’t take too long to explore the cave, but it’s a nice stop, especially if you are already visiting the nearby Cleopatra Beach. The atmosphere inside is cool and peaceful, making it a great way to escape the heat for a while. Overall, a simple but beautiful natural attraction with kind workers and fair prices. Definitely recommended if you’re in Alanya.

Very nice stone formations and stalactites, but also very small. It is a 10 minutes visit. Also there is a lack of controlling people to stop them touching the rocks. Could buy the tickets directly in the entrance and around 7pm there was no waiting.

Lovely cave. Very good price and you can spend as long as you want in there. Obviously I went in the peak season and it was very packed, but definitely worth a visit, to experience thousands of years of history.

Damlataş Cave is a really fascinating place to visit and a nice little escape from the heat! As soon as you step inside, you feel the cool, fresh air and see the incredible stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over thousands of years, it’s truly amazing to look at. The cave is not very big, but it’s well worth seeing, especially if you’re interested in nature and geology. The atmosphere inside is calm and quiet, and it’s easy to walk around at your own pace and take it all in. It’s also really close to the beach, so it’s easy to fit into your day if you’re already in the area. The small entrance fee is worth it for such a unique experience. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Alanya — a little hidden gem that’s definitely worth a stop!

Students pay 50TL and adults pay 150TL as of June 2025. The cave is small with only taking 5 to 10 minutes to explore depending on how long you're willing to stay. You get good pictures.

Damlatas Cave – A Hidden Gem in Alanya Damlatas Cave is an absolute must-see if you're in the Alanya area. It's a natural wonder that packs both beauty and a bit of mystery. The cave is impressive and easy to access, right near Kleopatra Beach, so you don't need to trek far to discover its beauty. As you step inside, the air is cool and refreshing—perfect after a hot day in the sun. The stalactites and stalagmites inside are massive and look like something out of a fantasy movie. They’ve been forming for thousands of years, and you can’t help but be in awe of nature’s craftsmanship. The temperature inside is pretty consistent throughout the year, which is a bonus, especially during the summer heat. The cave has a magical atmosphere, with soft lighting that highlights the incredible rock formations. It's also worth noting that the cave has a medicinal reputation: locals believe the cave’s air is good for respiratory issues, which adds an interesting layer to the experience. Pros: Short and easy to visit (only takes about 15–20 minutes to explore). Fantastic photo opportunities with the beautiful formations. Very close to Kleopatra Beach, so you can easily combine both visits. Air is cool and refreshing. Cons: It can get crowded, especially during peak tourist season. Not much to do beyond taking in the cave’s beauty, so if you're looking for something interactive, this may not be your spot. The lighting could be a bit better for photos, but it's manageable. Final Thoughts: If you’re in Alanya and want a quick, cool escape from the beach, Damlatas Cave is well worth the visit. It’s a peaceful, almost mystical experience that gives you a taste of Turkey’s natural history, and you’ll leave feeling like you've just explored a real-life treasure.

Nice activity if you like caves, stalactites and stalagmites. Very reasonably priced at 300TL for two adults (children go free). Only 3 stars as it's a lot smaller than expected. You go in, down some stairs into a recess where there are lots of stalactites and stalagmites. The cave has ancient healing properties according to legend. A nice place to escape the heat of the day.
