Wikipedia documents tunnels connecting Derinkuyu to Kaymakli, with locals reporting an additional passage to another cave city. Tunnels run approximately 60 meters below the surface but are reportedly narrower than main passages and partially collapsed, possibly intentionally. Too tight for comfortable passage, these deeper connections remain largely unverified. 🚇❓

- He broke through a basement wall and found a giant tunnel
