Altınbeşik Cave is in Altınbeşik Cave National Park. It was declared a national park in 1994. The national park is 167 km from Antalya city centre. It is approximately 5 km southeast of Ürünlü Village, which is 9.7 km away from the İbradı district.
Altınbeşik Cave is a horizontal and partially active cave that develops within the karstic structure that constitutes the national park's resource value, with the distinction of being Turkey's first and Europe's third-largest underwater lake cave. Altınbeşik Cave takes its name from Altınbeşik Hill at the top.
Altınbeşik Cave starts with a lake about 125 meters long from its mouth and sometimes reaches 15 meters in depth. In the middle part of the lake, there is a bridge made of natural rocks, and in the last part, there is a travertine formation with an extraordinary appearance, about forty-four meters high. The length of the cave, which empties its waters into the Manavgat Stream, reaches approximately 2500 meters with its inner branches. The cave draws attention with its dripstone formations and crevices. It offers an exciting visuality with mysterious stalactites and stalagmites.
Altınbeşik Cave is suitable for entrances in the summer and autumn seasons. It is closed to visitors in winter and spring due to natural reasons, as it fills with water.
Altınbeşik Cave makes an outstanding contribution to the tourism potential of the İbradı district, with the number of visitors increasing every year.
