Dim Cave is located on the slopes of Cebel-i Reis Mountain in the Alanya district of Antalya. The cave, consisting of four galleries, is 232 meters above sea level. It is estimated to be approximately one million years old. The cave extends into the mountain from two separate arms, one of which is 50 meters long and the other is 360 meters. There is a small lake at the bottom of the cave, which consists of stalactites and stalagmites. The environment inside the cave, which can be accessed by stairs, resembles fantasy movie settings.
