10 Best Things to Do in Alanya

What is Alayna Most Famous For?

5 Damlataş Caves

A natural wonder with curative properties

The Damlataş Caves are believed to have health-enhancing properties. Health tourism centred around these caves is a buoyant sector of the local tourism economy. Some local doctors send patients with asthma to the caves as they’ll benefit from the 95% humidity, high levels of carbon dioxide, and even a little radioactivity.

However, you don’t have to have a medical condition to visit this extraordinary place. The name translates to ‘dripping stone’, which provides a clue to what you might expect to find there: stalactites, stalagmites and mineral-rich water dripping through the rock make the Damlataş Caves a subterranean wonder in Alanya.
