Another not hackneyed attraction of Kemer is BELDIBI CAVE. It is located at a distance of 16 kilometers from Kemer (northern direction), but it feels further. The cave is known for the fact that rock paintings of ancient people were discovered here - these are the only petrographers in all of Western Asia that have come down to our times. Moreover, the drawings were made with a special solution of manganese and iron oxide, which gives the images an unusual shade. Here are scenes that reflect the main moments of the life of ancient people. These are magical rituals, hunting, images of the gods. Some of the pictures are about 5.000 years old. Also in the Beldibi cave, archaeologists found the tools of our distant ancestors. The cave was discovered in 1956, and excavations began 3 years later.

Near the cave there is a beautiful WATERFALL, which can be reached through the small river Beldibi and arrange a beautiful photo session.
Here you can also see the ruins of the ancient settlement of Phaselis, which existed in the 7th century BC. And they are located in pine forests and orange-lemon groves, which makes it possible to enjoy clean air filled with essential oils. Here you can also admire the panorama of Beldibi.

Everyone who wants to visit the BELDIBI CAVE should wear comfortable shoes and clothes, as there may be puddles of different depths along the way, and the temperature inside the cave may differ from the temperature outside, take a swimsuit (just in case), suddenly you have to swim across this river.

The BELDIBI CAVE is the easiest to get to - it is located right on the highway. Ride a dolmush (minibus) from Kemer through Beldibi for $3 (but it's better to pay in lira - 25% cheaper), ask to stop at the cave (cave) right after the observation deck in the area of ​ ​ the third (closest to Antalya) tunnel.
At this point, the Antalya-Kemer road goes through the newly built tunnel, and Kemer-Antalya along the old road to bypass the mountain just past the cave. It was said that any bus or minibus driver knows this place very well ....

They asked the driver if he knows where this cave is? He answered yes. Well, we got on the bus Kemer - Antalya, but the next one through Beldibi . . the price to this village is $ 2 ...we drove through all the streets for a very long time, collecting people . . Periodically they asked the driver if we had passed this place, did he remember that he should stop there, because we had no idea where it was ...and he again answered: yes! And so we passed all the hotels, drove onto the highway and it was already very close to Antalya, and then suddenly it turned out by chance that the driver did not know other words, except for this one Russian word - YES! I've heard a similar story somewhere.. .
