Palanlı Cave
Palanlı Cave is one of the cave and rock shelter sites around Adıyaman that reveal evidence of prehistoric human activity. Surface and cave finds in the region highlight the importance of Southeastern Anatolia for early human settlements. Unlike the classic Nemrut and Commagene-focused route, it offers a complementary stop for visitors interested in the Paleolithic period and natural rock formations.
