Karain Cave is a Paleolithic archaeological site located at Yağca Village, 27 km northwest of Antalya. The cave contains evidence of human habitation dating back to the Stone Age, including stone tools and animal bones. Visitors can see a small collection of these finds on site. The cave itself is spacious with several chambers. The walk from the car park is steep and can be challenging, so wear sturdy shoes and bring water. There is no shade along the path. The cave interior stays cool year-round, making it a relief on hot days.
