Lonely Planet review for Mirror Cave

Another Pontic tomb, the Mirror Cave (Aynalı Mağara), is apart from the others on the road in from Samsun. It's worth visiting if you have time.

Although built during Pontic times, it's likely that this tomb was later used as a chapel by the Byzantines who painted the fast-fading frescoes inside. With a Greek inscription high on the façade, this is one of the few tombs to have any type of adornment.
