Afkule
Also known as: Aladdin's Cave · Aladdin's Cavern · Afkule I · Afkule and Turkish Bath
Afkule takes its name from the monastery on the cliff above and is often called Aladdin's Cave. The first part is a cone-shaped cavern with one side open to the sea, whose walls are covered in cup corals, sponges, lace-like bryozoans and algae, with small side caverns holding shrimps. A swim of about 100 metres along the wall leads to the Turkish Bath (Hamam), a closed chamber entered through a wide doorway where sunlight streams in through openings in the roof. Divers can surface inside the Bath during the safety stop. A resident moray and large dusky groupers are regular sightings, and the Bath alone is shallow enough for less experienced divers.
