The Stories of Kosekbuku Cave The story of the origin of the name of the Kosekbuku Cave is also related to the nomadic culture. In the old language, the camel cub is called "Köşek", and the bush and thorny roads that are difficult to pass are called "bend". Local people use camels as a means of transportation when nomadic nomads go to the highlands in summer. In another migration period, a camel's labor pains caught on the winding roads near the cave. The camel and its owner stayed behind from the tribe and took shelter in a hollow when it rained. When the rain continued for a long time, the owner of the camel, while waiting, examined the inside of the hollow and discovered the cave. The Myth of Anamur Princess; Once upon a time, the King of Anamur had a very beautiful and kind-hearted daughter. One of the days in her early youth, the princess fell ill. None of the doctors in the country could find a cure for his problem. Now that hope is dashed, an old woman comes and says she will heal the girl. The King agrees helplessly. The woman takes the princess and takes her to the Kosekbuku Cave, which she believes will be healing. He asks him to drink from the water there and take a deep breath. After a few days of repeated treatment, the princess recovered soon. When leaving the cave during the last visit, he says, "I came here sick, I'm going healthier than before". “I hope all patients like me find healing from here,” he prays. Kosebuku Cave becomes a healing cave from now on. Today, some patients visit the cave to find healing.

An interesting cave, comfortable and deep. Nearby there is a cafe where you will be served delicious Turkish coffee. Clean mountain air, beautiful views. I recommend to visit. The entrance is paid, but not very expensive, I don’t remember whether it was 7 or 10 liras.
