The Ayvaini Cave is a cave located inside the borders of the Ayva village of Bursa, Turkey.
Except for the entrance section, the cave is horizontally developed. There are two entrances to the cave; one at Doğanalanı, the other at Ayvaköy. Entering the cave from one point and leaving the cave from another is possible. At the Doğanalanı entrance of the cave, there is a vertical downward descent of 17 meters.
Famous quotes containing the word cave:
“What difference is there, do you think, between those in Plato’s cave who can only marvel at the shadows and images of various objects, provided they are content and don’t know what they miss, and the philosopher who has emerged from the cave and sees the real things?”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
