Kaklık Cave
Kaklık Mağarası
A calcite cave known as the "Underground Pamukkale," where thermal water flowing through the cave forms white terraces and stalactites.
Kaklık Cave is a sinkhole formed by a collapse. Its sulfur-rich thermal water deposits white travertine pools similar to those of Pamukkale, along with stalactites and stalagmites. The air carries a faint smell of sulfur. Boardwalks lead through the cave, and a visit takes about 30 to 40 minutes. It lies about 30 kilometers east of Denizli, right beside the highway, making it a convenient stop for drivers. Admission is inexpensive, subject to on-site confirmation.
