The Chasm of Heaven and Hell, located near Silifke, Mersin, are two remarkable sinkholes shaped over millennia by collapsing limestone layers. Heaven Sinkhole is accessible via a 450-step stone staircase leading to an ancient 5th-century monastery adorned with frescoes of Jesus and his apostles. The journey continues into a cave where the sound of an underground river enhances the mystical atmosphere. For convenience, an elevator offers an alternative descent. The nearby Hell Sinkhole, while not accessible, can be viewed from a glass terrace. Steeped in Greek mythology, it is said to have temporarily imprisoned Typhon under Zeus's command. Combining natural beauty, history, and legend, these sinkholes are an unmissable experience.
