Excursion to the Kutuki Cave
From 1€ per group
Description
Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 6 hours
* This cave is of incomparable natural beauty. Kutuki, the most important natural monument, impresses the visitor with its majestic atmosphere. Stalactites, stalagmites, and columns of various colors form halls, balconies, squares, and corridors reminiscent of mysterious dreams.
The monument was accidentally discovered in 1926 by an ordinary shepherd from Alanya. During the next grazing of the herd, one of the animals suddenly disappeared, falling into the ground. A shepherd who decided to investigate found a goat in one of the most beautiful caves in Europe.
The most impressive thing is that this cave is 2,000,000 years old, and due to the lack of another entrance, no one has ever seen it.
A 17 m long tunnel leads to the main hall, built for the convenience of visitors, and the length of the tourist route is 350 m, along which tourists enter the underground grotto. Here they can admire stalagmites and stalactites that impress the imagination with their sizes and shapes.
The cave is part of the Hymettus underground system. Its creation is due to the high solubility of limestones in rainwater. This is the main reason for creating the cave. Thus, a large part of the cave of Peania was created with a rich variety of stalactite formations and elements, which led to the naming of various halls, balconies, squares and corridors. The "Olympic Tower" can be distinguished from "Owls", "Corals", "Armor" and "Red Waterfall" by the iron oxides that penetrate into the cave along with water from the surface of the earth.
