Its story

Zindan Cave lies about 2 km northeast of the Aksu district, at the source section of the Köprüçay (ancient Eurymedon). The roughly 750-meter-long horizontal cave is easy to walk and is lit inside. At the entrance are traces of a sanctuary and inscriptions dedicated to the river god Eurymedon, and in front of it stands a stone-arched Roman bridge. Inside the cave, a section covered with calcite crystals, known as the "hammam", stands out. It can be combined into a walking route with the nearby Başpınar Nature Park.
