Located in the Samandağ district of Hatay, the Beşikli Cave is a historical witness reaching from Anatolia's ancient eras to the present day. Shaped by natural rock over millions of years, this cave was used as a shelter by people in antiquity and, thanks to its historical value, has become an important part of our cultural memory. With its open, spacious feel and the view offered by its position close to the sea, it is one of Samandağ's landmark sites. Artifacts found during archaeological excavations shed light on the ways of life of ancient civilizations. The reflection of the afternoon sun's rays into the interior through the cave entrance, in particular, lets you experience natural and historical beauty together. Visiting in the morning hours will give you a more comfortable opportunity for observation and photography.
