Catalagazi Attractions

The longest caves in Turkey are situated just a few kilometers to the southwest of Çatalagazi, a small coastal town about 20km/12mi east of Trabzon. The entrance, Kizilelma Magarasi, can be found by the border with the neighboring district of Gelik, while the northern exit 10km/6mi to the north is known as Cumayani-Magarasi. Because of the long underground siphon within the watercourse, it is not possible to pass through the cave network from one end to the other.

Near the exit the cave opens out into a large cavern with travertine terraces and basins similar to those at Pamukkale. The cavern is open to the public.
