Description

It is an under-rock shelter located just at the exit of the Çamdağ tunnel, at the 40th km of the Antalya-Kemer coastal road. It is located in Obaköy locality. 25 m from the sea coast. It is a cave in the form of a shelter at a high altitude. Since it was greatly damaged by natural destruction, the filling layers inside were washed away by rainwater and wind. It is the second important Prehistoric center of the Antalya region. 6 layers, all containing Mesolithic cultures, were identified. During the excavations, flint tools from the Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods were unearthed. Additionally, there are schematic images of humans, mountain goats and deer on the walls of the rock shelter. It is an archaeological protected area that is always open to local and foreign tourists.
