Zindan Cave, located 2 kilometers northeast of Aksu district, is situated on the south-facing slope of the Aksu Stream gorge, at an altitude of 1300 meters above sea level. The interior of the cave, which is 765 meters long, is completely illuminated. It is extremely comfortable and easy to walk and tour inside the cave, which has developed horizontally. Inside the semi-active cave, there are various stalactites, flowstones, rimstones, and erosional formations and stalactites formed by the underground stream. In addition, miniature canyons have formed in some sections inside the cave. At the end of the cave, on the floor of the section called the bath, there are original calcite crystals in the form of mosaics. As a result of the analyses carried out, it was determined that the calcium and magnesium values of the water flowing inside the cave are high.

At the entrance of the cave, there are mosaics featuring the head of Eurymedon (Köprü Stream God) made of black, white, and red stone tessera, dolphin motifs on both sides, and winged flying male figures at the bottom and top.
