G-37 As a geomorphological term, tafoni is the general name of the erosional patterns formed in the rocks due to erosion processes. The factors affecting the formation of tafoni, which can be defined as cavities and cavities in various forms and sizes, are the resistance differences of the rocks, their lithological compositions, structural features, wind, biogenic factors and wave erosion. Although tafoni formations are characteristic for the Mediterranean region, they can also be seen in different parts of the world, especially in dry semi-arid, hyper arid and cold arid environments. Within the geopark area, Kdz. The tafoni formations observed on the limestone rocks of Kireçli Cape in Ereğli present very beautiful visual structures with the appearance of honeycomb and lace. The Kireçli Cape, which is the scene of heavy rain, wind and wave activity, is an exemplary area that both offers visual beauty and shows the taphonic erosions in the coastal zone.
