The cave, named after the stalactites formed by water droplets, was discovered by chance in 1948 during the opening of a quarry for stone to be used in the construction of the harbour. Located on the west coast of Alanya Castle, the cave has a 50-metre passage at the entrance and its height is 15 metres. After the passage, you can walk to the bottom of the cave after reaching a cylindrical hollow area. The stalactites and stalagmites of the cave in the side crystallised limestone were formed in 15 thousand years.
