Up the hill from the Chasm of Heaven is the
Cave-Gorge of Hell
(Cehennem Mağarası), with almost vertical
walls and a heart-stopping viewing platform extending over a 120m-deep pit. This charred hole is supposedly where
Zeus imprisoned the 100-headed, fire-breathing monster Typhon after defeating him in battle.
Around 600m west is
Asthma Cave
(Astim Mağarası), which supposedly relieves sufferers of the affliction.
