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.

After exiting the caverns you will be guided through the shrubs and wooded area, to the thermal bathing where large baths are filled with thermal water, where you and you family can bathe. Or stay overnight in a traditional Turkish pansiyon, room sleeps 2-3 people at a cost of approx 30TL including breakfast.

The thermal waters have beneficial properties for your health and is good for conditions such as;

• Skin Disease

• Rheumatism
• Body Odour
• Pimples and baldness
