Intense interest of tourists in Altınbeşik Cave

Altinbeşik National Park is generally represented by Cretaceous and Jurassic-Cretaceous aged limestone formations and Palaeocene-Eocene aged fliche formations. In addition to the lithological structure, factors such as tectonism, karstification and river erosion have been effective in the present shape of the site. These factors have contributed to the shaping of the geomorphological structure of the site such as various valley shapes, caves, dolines, erosion surfaces and cones of accumulation. Altınbeşik Cave was formed within the Cretaceous aged massive limestones. Manavgat Stream is the most important stream of the area. Manavgat Stream, which flows in the NE-SW direction, lies to the east of Altinbesik Cave.
