Altınbesik Cave Tour and Buttoned Houses Tour from Side, Explore the Beauty of the Green Canyon Landscape and Historic Villages in Antalya
Take a journey through Antalya's stunning Green Canyon, and marvel at the breathtaking panoramic view of the Oymapinari Dam. With a height of 1250 meters from the Taurus Mountains, this is a sight you won't want to miss.
Discover the unique architecture of the historic Buttoned Houses in the villages of İbradı, Ormana, and Sarıhacılar (Nomad). These cement-free homes were constructed with a locking system using juniper, cedar, and tar trees as skeletons, earning them the nickname "Buttoned Houses." These villages are also located on the historic Silk Road migration routes.
Step into the breathtaking Altınbesik Cave, Turkey's first and Europe's third-largest underground lake cave. At 450 meters long with a depth of 15 meters, this cave boasts an underground lake that is salty and incapable of sustaining fish life. Pigeons and bats call this cave home, and its estimated length of 50 km is waiting to be explored. The cave's air is humid, with a constant temperature of 16 degrees, and comes from the underground sources of Lake Beysehir, 90 km away.
Altınbesik Cave is part of the Altınbesik National Park, declared a national park in 1994. The park is home to 605 plant species, 69 of which are endemic. Enjoy a nature walk or eco-tourism trip through the park's revived old footpaths and admire the diversity of vegetation in the area.
