Damlataş Cave in the district center of Alanya was discovered in 1948 during the opening of a quarry for stone to be used in port construction. It is located on the west coast of the historical Alanya Peninsula. There is a 50-meter passage at the entrance of the cave. A cylindrical cavity is reached after the course with a height of 15 meters. From here, one descends to the bottom of the cave. The stalactites and stalagmites of the cave, located inside crystallized limestone, were formed in 15 thousand years. The cave was named Damlataş because of the water drops that continue to drip from the stalactites.

In addition to its mesmerizing beauty, Damlataş Cave is famous for its air suitable for asthma patients. Under a doctor's supervision, some patients apply a 21-day treatment cure by sitting in the cave for a certain period. The air in the shelter does not change in summer and winter; the temperature is 22°C, the humidity is 95 percent, and the constant pressure is 760 mm. The air in the cave contains 71 percent nitrogen, 20.5 percent oxygen, 2.5 per ten thousand carbon dioxide, and some radioactivity and ions.
