25 kilometers from the center of Antalya and not far from the Turkish resort of Kemer is the national park Olympos - Bedaglar. Beldibi Cave is located in this park, 16 kilometers away from Kemer.
The cave is located at the foot of the sandstone mountains that extend into the sea and consists of two parts. It has been used since the Paleolithic. True, the most beautiful places in the cave belong to the Mesolithic era. This historical artifact was first discovered in 1956.
There are six cultural layers in the cave: Paleolithic, Mesolithic, transitional from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic, the 4th, 5th and 6th layers belong to the Paleolithic era. On the walls there are schematic drawings of a man, a shaman, mountain goats and deer, hunting scenes, figures depicting the mother goddess, divided into 4 sections by dots. The pictures were made with paints made from manganese oxide and natural iron.
The cave is located at an altitude of twenty-five meters above sea level and has a vaulted shape. This place, located among coniferous forests, was used by primitive hunters of the Paleolithic and Neolithic times as a refuge or dwelling.
