These two sinkholes near Narlıkuyu formed when the limestone collapsed. Steps lead down into the Heaven sinkhole, with a small Byzantine chapel and a cave at the bottom. The Hell sinkhole has sheer walls and cannot be entered; it is viewed from a platform above. The nearby Wishing Cave can also be visited.
