Sights and Activities

Caves of Hell and Heaven (Cennet ve Cehennem) are two big deep naturally formed holes in the ground. The cave of hell can be seen from above but can't be walked into since it is very deep and steep. The cave of heaven has stairs going all the way down to the deepest part of the cave. If one has enough energy and strength to go down all the stairs, he/she can see the chapel in the cave.
Men Rocks are rock carvings in a Huseyinler village of Silifke. The carvings of 11 men, 4 women and 2 children on the rocks are from second century.
