Top 20 Caves 시칠리아

성수기 외 방문

특별한 음향이 특징인 인공 동굴.

The "Ear of Dionysus," which, according to legend, Caravaggio named it. It is said that the tyrant Dionysus I of Syracuse secretly eavesdropped on the conversations of his prisoners through this cave, and since it is shaped like a donkey's ear, Caravaggio probably found the name extremely fitting.

Artificial grotto with excellent acoustics. Excavations on the plateau above uncovered the remains of a temple dedicated to Artemis. The sound was presumably used for religious ceremonies.

The hike is completely overcrowded, and you're charged twice. You pay €9 at the parking lot and then another €5 per person. There's almost no shade anywhere, and the small swimming coves are completely overcrowded.

The sanctuary inside the geotta is very suggestive

Definitely go to the church! It's a really beautiful grotto.

One of the most beautiful lava tunnels on the north side of Mount Etna is the Serracozzo Grotto (surely often visited, but not signposted). A lava tunnel is not a cave, but rather one formed during an eruption, when a crust forms on the surface of the slowly flowing lava in flatter terrain. This "tunnel" is easy to enter (assuming there's no threat of a thunderstorm (flooding!) or ice and snow making entry dangerous). Don't forget your flashlight; two cave-ins in the ceiling provide sufficient light until halfway through the tunnel, after which it becomes very shallow and pitch-dark in places. It's worth exploring!
