Fethiye’s Forgotten Gems – Alexander Cavern

Visit a natural phenomena most tourists don’t even know about – Alexander Cavern and thermal springs.

Located off the D-400 road, signposted for saklikent. Drive 5.8km and look for the sign on your left that reads “Iskenderin Magrasi Alexander cavern Hohle”.

Nestled away off the road up a short lane and easily accessible by car or minibus, is Alexander cavern and thermal springs. At the top of the lane you will come to a Tea Garden, take a moment to relax and have a refreshing beverage before being guided by my Fevzi to marvel below ground into the cavern where you will be guided by oil lamp through narrow passageways. Take a breath and be bewitched by the rock formations that formed thousands of years ago. Read more

The Turkish bath or hamam as it is known has been around for thousands of years, it is thought that it first came when the rulers of turkey was the Romans. The Seljuk’s and Ottomans built large Turkish baths in some of the most populated areas of Turkey for the Turkish people to use, this was because the Turkish people did not have baths in there homes so they would go to the local bath.

A visit to the Turkish baths these days is a day out for the Turkish who often take a picnic with them to eat after bathing, the Turkish baths is an enjoyable luxury which is used as a method of cleansing the body and used for the relaxation of the body, which most people visit the baths at least once in there lifetime.

For the Turkish people it was more than just a place to cleanse the skin, it became a way of life, a place where everyone came no matter who you was, where you lived or whether you was man, woman or child, of course women had separate times in the baths to men. The Turkish bath was a familiar place to go during the earliest year’s right up to the present day. The Turkish mark special occasions during ones times life in which they celebrate a newborns fortieth day and a brides bathing before marriage with food and live music, and the avowal of a promise, a contingent on the fulfilment of some important wish, for which is was a custom in Anatolia.
