    The cave is very closw to the road going to the Dilik Park and is opened 24/7, as there is no entrance booth, just an wooden path leading to it. Is a gathering place for young people who like to swim inside and have a drink. The water is fresh, but cold.

    Dark, deep and cold. It is a beautiful place that has preserved its nature. Entrance is free. You should definitely swim in the ice-cold water.

    Very interesting natural cave to hide from the summer heat and swim in the crystal clear water! Don’t forget the swimsuit and coral shoes. I recommend to come either in the morning or in the late afternoon, otherwise you risk being in the crowd.

    Worth a quick visit but only if you are in the area, since it is overrun with tourists trying to swim in the cave.

    Interesting place. Water is so cold and refreshing. Rocks can be slippery and dangerous. Be careful there.

  • 4/5 Eren P. 7 months ago on Google
    The water is very chill and deep which makes it super cool to dive from rocks and swim in. Due to it’s popularity the sides of the water body are a bit polluted but the water seems to be clear and pure.

    Nice place but getting down to cave is a bit tricky because of slippery stones. Water is cold&refreshing, recommended!🩵

    Very worthwhile visiting but I did get bit by couple mosquitoes. Several years ago you could go down to the water as a matter fact swim in it but no more. Surrounding areas have gotten crowded.

    Wow what an amazing find! I’m really glad I took the time to come here. It’s so beautiful and the water is crystal clear. Had a lovely swim, water wasn’t too cold at all. Really recommend a visit to this unique and beautiful place

    Great mineral water pool you can visit as part of the jeep safari tour

    Magical does not cut this experience. Crystal clear mineral water. We went as part of a touring group so we went down to the waters. A great visit.

    Perfect, attractive place to make you cheell in a day heat.

  • 3/5 Tanya 10 months ago on Google
    Nice spot to visit, but be aware it doesn't quite look like the photos people have posted. Water is indeed very clear, but it is a very small area. You can swim there, water is very cold. We parked near the picnic spot, only a short 200m walk to the cave.

    Went on a tour here, my kids loved it and our guide was extremely informative and fun to be with. Would recommend, though was disappointed that there was no swimming during our visit due to time constraints.

    very simple cave with water. see little things can be. there is no cave to water, you need to climb and on slippery stones go to the water. water cold, refreshes. I recommend to dive, but do nothing in the cave.

  • 4/5 Gert-Jan van der L. 1 year ago on Google
    A mixture of salt water from the sea and sweet water from the mountains provides a cool, tasteless mineral water pool in the cave. Officially you aren't allowed to swim in the cave, but a information sign tells this cave is popular as well by locals as tourists to swim in

  • 5/5 Charulata 2 years ago on Google
    Just off the main road, wooden path/platform to view the cave which is full of a lovely clear water. They water is surprisingly a nice temperature to swim. I thought it would be a bigger cavern

  • 5/5 S T. 2 years ago on Google
    If you wanna jump in freezing cold water and be followed by warm water in a cave you must try. And if you are lucky you can see Barbie the monkey.One of my favourite caves, definitely recommend! :D

  • 3/5 Pierre B. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice walk, nothing crazy but if you're there, it takes 10 minutes and it's a nice place.

  • 5/5 Paul K. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice location. However, it is not allowed to swim or dive in the cave. Unfortunately, many people heed the ban.

  • 5/5 Saif U. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice cave, loved the water and the whole natural environment.

  • 4/5 Немања �. 2 years ago on Google
    Quite nice place, had a chance to take a swim in the water, there wasn't much to see but it was nice. The location is quite isolated though, it was hour long drive from Kusadasi.

  • 5/5 Marc T. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice location, beautiful place

  • 5/5 Amar S. 2 years ago on Google
    A must-see! Plan in just 30 mins for this. Then go to the Nature park, which you can enter a few 100 meters further. Be aware, the water is ice cold. Make sure to not get cramps!

  • 3/5 Ceyhun B. 2 years ago on Google
    There is really not much to see here, if anything at all. All over the place no swimming and entry signs, but people do not care and enter the water despite the dangers. If you happen to come here, then eat "Gözleme" right at the beginning of the path leading to the Cave. That will for sure give you a better experience than seeing Zeus Cave.

  • 5/5 Simona M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice place! It's worth it to go swim in the water - it's really clean and peaceful, amazing experience!

  • 5/5 Leon W. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is so beautiful and unique. You can swim in water and have an adventure deep into the cave. (It's cold though) There is no entrance fee and is accessible via minibus (Dolmush) from Kuşadası and Davutlar village.

    According to Ancient Greek mythology, Zeus, the Olympian ruler of the skies, used to hide in the cave to escape the fury of his brother Poseidon, the ruler of the seas after Zeus angered him. Poseidon, in his wrath, would unleash very high waves and other dangerous water conditions with his trident. Another legend has it that Zeus would slip away from Mount Olympus to swim with village girls where his wife, Hera, couldn’t find him. And he took bath with Aphrodite the goddess of love in this cave.

👍👍 A landmark of the city here, you can enjoy beautiful sunsets all along the beach. Very nice pedestrian promenade, could be a little cleaner. But it is too crowded in the evenings, so caution is advised, otherwise highly recommended.
