The most important sea caves in Lycia can be seen during a boat trip from Kalkan. Traveling from west to east the caves are:
Güvercinlik, four kilometers from Kalkan, is the home of hundreds of wild pigeons. This cave is only accessible to swimmers even though the entrance is very wide. One of the most important underwater coastal streams emerges from this cave causing the water temperature to drop from 25-30°C in summer to 13°C.
Güvercinini, opposite Güvercinlik, this cave is approximately 40 m. long and 30 m. high. The entrance is very narrow an it is only accessible to swimmers, and of course, the pigeons and bats who make their homes in the cracks of the ceiling. It is preferrable to visit this cave an hour or two before the sunset to appreciate the effects caused by the reflecting light. The deep blue color seen when looking out underwater towards the entrance is marvelous.
The Blue Cave. The entrance to the Blue Cave can be seen at its location two kilometers to the East, beyond beautiful Kaputaþ Beach. This cave has the distinction of being the largest known sea cave in Turkey (50 m. long, 35 m. wide and 17 m. high) and before the frequent intrusion of tourists it was inhabited by Mediterranean seals. Again the deep blue color is especially remarkable when looking out to sea from the inside of the cave and this effect is enhanced when diving with a mask.
There are other sea caves in Lycia and the most important of these are between Fethiye and Ölüdeniz; Salim and Iblis sea caves. Kekova Island’s South Shore sea cave. Asirli Island sea cave (close to Kekova).
