FamxplorHeaven and Hell
What to expect
Cennet and Cehennem, also known as Heaven and Hell, are two large sinkholes in the Taurus Mountains, Mersin Province, Turkey. The Heaven Sinkhole is larger and can be descended into via a 452-step stone staircase, featuring a historical church built in the 5th century. The Hell Sinkhole is deeper but has a smaller opening and is not accessible. The site is of historical and mythological significance, with stories of Zeus and Typhon. The area is also home to a temple of Zeus and offers a cool, damp atmosphere, with opportunities to explore the caves and surrounding nature

Activities: We visited Heaven and Hell, two large sinkholes with ancient Greek connections. We walked down the stairs to the very bottom of the sinkhole and then walked down some very slippery steps into the cave at the bottom
Highlights: Heaven and Hell was probably the highlight of the day and was very cool ✨
