Apart from its attractive natural feautures,Karain Cave is also remarkable as one of the oldest human settlements in Anatolia.Archaeological excavations conducted in the cave have unearthed artefacts from Early ,Middle and Late Stone ages and Chalcolithic and Bronze ages as well as traces of later eras.Continuous human habitation has created an 11 metre-thick layer of cultures.Nevertheless the cave is principally known as one of the most important settlements of the early Stone Age and Mediterranean region.
