    The Caves of the Gurfa are hypogea dug in very ancient times and used by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and by all the peoples who inhabited Sicily in the ages. It is said that it was the ancient tomb of Minos.

    Cycling

    After the short detour to the ghost town you ride back past the railway station and continue towards the small village of Alia where you’ll find indications for the Gurfa caves, but in case you don’t see any, just ask for “Gurfa” and the locals will show you where to go. It is necessary to book a visit to the Gurfa caves at the tourist office, please refer to the information below. Gioacchino is one of the knowledgeable volunteers at the tourist office, make sure you call in advance. More details on sicilycycling.com/bike-tour-gurfa-caves
