Deepest Caves of Turkey


Turkish caves are mostly below 10 km length, and so they are not listed by the official statistic of Bob Gulden. Most caving organisations on a national level publish their official list on their own website with frequently updated content, Turkey does not. So we have an inofficial page which is (unfortunately) not updated very often. However, if you feel there are updates and send an email with the updates, we will correct the list.
