The Aşıklar Cave (Turkish Aşıklar Mağarası , Cave of Lovers ) is a cave near the southern tip of the Alanya peninsula in the southern Turkish province of Antalya .

tourism
Aşıklar Cave is a popular destination for boat tours. The landing stage is an approximately 2 meter high ledge on the eastern rock face. From there you can climb to the cave entrance at a height of about 12 meters without any aids. The walk through the 75 meter long, unlit, completely dark cave is not without risk, so an experienced guide always precedes. In places you have to bend down low or go on all fours. On the west side, where the famous Cleopatra Beach is located, you are about 15 meters above sea level. There is the possibility of a cliff jump here.
