Altyn Besik National Park or Beskov, that in translated from Turkish means the Golden Cradle, not spoiled by visiting tourists. This is not surprising. None of the numerous travel agencies scattered in the territory of both the very city of Side and the coastal settlements of this settlement, such as idiot, sorgan or cholakla, did not even hear such a phrase. And why? It is much easier (and more profitable) to send holidaymakers on old proven routes with wide and smooth roads on the Oymapinar reservoir and to the manavgat manual waterfall.
On a large and multi-family bus, it's just not to drive there: it prevents steep and narrow mountain serpentine with the asphalt plots not the best quality and small stony streets with unexpected, almost impossible, the turns of the village of Yurunly.
The main one can be said to the central, attraction here is the cave with the name reserve named. I would especially like to note that this place is well equipped: a beautiful pedestrian trail with railings, individual toilets with all the necessary accessories, covered terrace with tables, bar and buffet. She simultaneously serves as a peculiar selection of an office where life jackets and oars are stored, there is also a backlight network inside the rock emptiness, and in the underwater and air parts.
To get into the grotto you will need a boat, since the entrance and throughout the bottom of the dungeon space is located lake with a clean, transparent and slightly bluish water. Locals will be happy to provide complete equipment for swimming and put lighting for ten dollars.
The unique beauty of the walls, stalactites and a variety of growths is stunning. Near some more or less convenient protrusions can be stopped and exit. It is difficult to imagine that in the world there are those formed in a natural way, arched overlaps.
It should be prepared for the fact that the cold liquid is dripping from above. Somewhere far in the semitime there is a slightly vigorous dome - the arch of the underground palace. But the transfers of the paints of the influx from beige to dark brown, and from whiten to almost black fascinating and not let go. And which bizarre forms acquired these sediments during their existence! It is practically not possible to describe words.
And the wonderful buds of some green herbs, hanging from the ceiling, and for some reason are so unusually growing down.
After a long stay in the coolness, it's nice again in the warm summer sunny day and drink a cup of bitter strong coffee, getting acquainted with advertising booklets laid out on the tables.
It is somehow joyful to the soul from the local not a crowd and seen miracle of nature.
