Underground salt caves are on the visiting route of tourists
The galleries, which were formed as a result of the excavations carried out from past to present in the Salt Mountain in Tuzluca district, were transformed into a Salt Therapy Center in stages as a result of the work carried out by the Iğdır Governorship.
The therapy center, which was put into service meters underground, with walls, ceiling and floor made entirely of salt, started to host a lot of visitors after the landscaping and lighting carried out by the governorship. The center, which became known throughout the country in a short time, is flooded with local and foreign visitors coming to the region even in winter.
The center has hosted 310 thousand visitors since its opening in 2022. Lale Temelkuran, one of the visitors, said that they came from Izmir and were very surprised when they saw Tuz Mountain.
Stating that they came to the Eastern Anatolia Region for sightseeing purposes, Temelkuran said, „I did not know that there was such a place in our country. It is incredible that a civilization here, before Christ, created such a thing and that it is still standing. I think it is a must-see place for the world.“ said.
Stating that he saw many beauties that caught his attention in the caves, Temelkuran said, „There are places that meet the water, the salt is seen much more clearly there. Also, this place looks like an architectural structure, which is magnificent. A place that has been used so much has survived for thousands of years without being damaged like this.“ „It’s nice to have it. We see what humanity can do if it wants to.“ he said.
„NOT ONLY Türkiye, BUT OTHER COUNTRIES SHOULD HEAR THIS“
Selma Yüksel, who said that they came to visit the region with her friends, stated that she found the cave interesting in every sense and said:
„I cannot explain the feeling we are experiencing here right now. We have entered a completely different world. We were astonished by the things left like these pillars in these places where technology cannot reach, what has been done. We want to spread this. Not only Turkey but also other countries should hear about it. We know that such a value exists here.“ Let them see.“
