Cave of Zeus, Aydın, Ancient cave in Kuşadası, Turkey.
The Cave of Zeus features natural rock formations surrounding an underground lake with mineral-rich waters at 200 meters above sea level.
The cave holds strong connections to Greek mythology, where Zeus reportedly sought refuge from his brother Poseidon's wrath within these chambers.
Local residents maintain a tradition of tying fabric strips to a wishing tree near the cave entrance to fulfill their desires.
The cave entrance connects to a 20-meter southern path through rocky terrain, accessible via regular minibus services from central Kuşadası.
The cave pool contains a mixture of mountain spring water and seawater, creating distinct blue-green carbonated mineral waters.
