Karaca Cave

• Share Now :

A beautiful cave that was originally used as a study point for the Karadeniz Technical University, afterwards the Turkish tourism board was informed. As the cave has got different types of rock and minerals it was considered a wonder but the different layers glitter and sparkle throughout the cave making it breathtaking to behold. The inside of the cave has an added benefit that it contains its own microclimate meaning in winter it is warm and in summer it is cool, great for a day exploring any time of the year.
