Yeşilgöz

Yeşilgöz, in the Tekir area, is a natural sinkhole and recreational area notable for its clear, cold water, which originates from an underground cave system. Official sources state that its surface area is approximately 30 metres across and its deepest section is approximately 25 metres deep. The strong water outflow forms one of the sources of Tekir Stream. With recreational areas in its surroundings, it is one of the notable stops along the Kahramanmaraş–Kayseri route for short walks and nature breaks.
