Tilkiler Cave, Natural cave formation in Manavgat, Turkey
The interior of Tilkiler Cave contains multiple water-filled chambers with levels varying between 68 and 128 meters depending on seasonal conditions.
The discovery of Tilkiler Cave occurred in 1976 during construction work for the Oymapınar Dam when workers were creating an injection gallery.
French speleologists created sand structures in a specific chamber of the cave in 1977, which remained intact for over 27 years.
The cave extends 6,650 meters in length and reaches a depth of 159 meters, making it the third longest cave system in Turkey.
Within Tilkiler Cave lies a distinctive chamber completely covered in sand, known as the Hall of Castles.
