Discovered by chance in 1948 during the construction of a harbor, Damlataş Cave holds the distinction of being Turkey’s first cave opened to tourism. As you step into the cave’s mesmerizing atmosphere, you are greeted by magnificent stalactites and stalagmites, meticulously formed over 15,000 years by nature’s patient hand. Damlataş is not only a visual feast; it has also gained fame for its therapeutic air, which maintains a constant temperature of 22°C, high humidity, and abundant carbon dioxide throughout the year, providing relief for asthma sufferers. As part of efforts to raise awareness about the preservation of Belek’s natural treasures, such geological formations are among the most precious legacies from the prehistoric Mediterranean era to the present day. BETUYAB has consistently supported ecological tourism and conservation activities aimed at experiencing these unique natural structures while ensuring they remain intact for future generations. With its crystallized marble formations and mystical lighting, Damlataş feels like an underground palace, a stunning testament to what nature can patiently build. Every echoing drop of water you hear as you move deeper into the cave whispers the living, breathing history of our planet.
