Kaklik Cave

For 4tl, you get to walk around an underground pamukkale cave for about 20 minutes. Cave waters are running over the bridge so its more convenient to carry slippers. This place is a hidden gem

Another unique natural beauty in Turkey is Kaklik cave. You feel like you are in front of Pamukkale travertines but in a cave. One of must see places in Pamukkale area. After driving 3h30min from Port of Kusadasi, you can arrive there. The travertines formation is almost the same as Pamukkale.

We drove there (45 minutes each way) to find it to be closed without notice.

Nice experience in this particular Cave. Quarryon suggest you to come here!

So strange that this beautiful place is free. Free parking, beautifully manicured gardens (gardener currently mowing the lawns), free swimming pool, free clean toilets with hand soap, incredible cave with formations like Pamukkale. This is obviously a secret tgat has not yet been shared.

Underground cotton candy castle ?????? In my nuuuumerous hours of researching places to visit via the interwebs I stumbled across this sweet little cave which has very similar pools to the massive Turkish tourist attraction called Pamukkale (cotton castle) ??? This cave did not disappoint! Absolutely exquisite thermal pools formed by millenniums of flowing spring waters with high zinc, calcium, magnesium, and gypsum content which have over the years built up individual pools here underground inside of this spectacular cavern ? When I first got here I honestly thought I would see a few people or at least a security guard.... Buuuuuut there was no one around for miles! Luckily there is no real gate or security door to get into the cave or onto this property. Surprising honestly but here we are ??? The cave itself is lit up with a bunch of high-intensity LEDs which makes viewing the cave formations all the better ? The wooden walkway to get around here is in really good condition and you can see several different mouths of the spring feeding this cave. One is inside of a deep blue pool and two of the others are coming in as waterfalls through the top of the cave... Really beautiful but make sure you have some waterproof shoes before you go down in here?⛰️⛲???? After exploring the cave for a while I noticed they have some swimming pools built just outside of the entrance of the cave. I imagine in the summertime when the zombie apocalypse corona virus lockdown is not in full force this is a fantastic place to come enjoy the afternoon with your family and splash around in these thermal waters! Kind of eerie walking around by yourself in an abandoned aqua park but even still very cool! Really glad I got to check this place out and even more thrilled to see this cave up close and personal after finding out about it 4 months ago back in Istanbul on my incredibly exhaustive hunt for off the beaten path things to see and do here in this region of Turkey. If you're in the area I give this place 2 biiiiiiiig thumbs up to visit ???

You would never think something so amazing is there as you drive up, even as you park. It's only 30 minutes east of Pammukale and simply fabulous. Plus it's free!!

Correction before commenting: the place is not free to enter anymore. I think it belongs to government now and the entrance fee is 5 lira as march of 2022. Which is totally fine. It is literally underground or cave version of Pamukkale. There is a very nice and small pool welcomes your with amazing colors. Then you go inside and see Pamukkale part. 2 things you might consider before entering. First thing is smell, it smells heavily like sulfur or something like that.(rotten egg even) after awhile, you are getting used to it but still. Second is, be ready to take your shoes off. Some places are filled with water so you might consider going there barefoot or take some slippers with you.
