With the first step into crystal-scented air, your chest expands and your breathing deepens at Duzdağ. This means only one thing: gently meeting nature with a calm rhythm, helping you greet the morning gently.
The basis of speleotherapy is the constant temperature and low humidity of the cave; the microclimate given off by the salt crystals refreshes your respiratory tract. The ionized air, in concert with a slow-paced walk, relaxes your body. You will be surprised, in the silence of the cave, at how easily you can concentrate in just a few minutes.
At Duzdağ Physical Therapy Center, you will be informed about the practices under the guidance of our expert team. Speleotherapy rooms, rest areas, and information boards introduce the scientific basis of the method in simple language. A short introductory tour will leave you feeling compelled to return.
The route leads to Ashab-ı Kehf Cave in the afternoon, where belief and narrative are imbued into the very fabric of the stone. In following the legend, your steps on the path become calm. A natural silence opens for prayer and contemplation as you stand before the threshold.
The flavors of the day follow the theme: You will be seated at Duzdağ for a light and balanced menu, fresh salads and local grains, well-cooked vegetables satisfying your stomach without overwhelming it. At a break in Ashab-ı Kehf, a hot cup of samovar tea will warm your hands while conversations melt peacefully.
If the sky is clear, a short star-gazing experience will gently wrap up the day, and you will lift your head and observe the brilliance of the night of Nakchivan. On the way back, the salt of the cave, the steam of the tea, and the serenity of the cave threshold come together as one memory. The mix of gentle nature and faith leaves you with a simple yet deep renewal.
