Don't bother
Jul 2021
There are stalactites, stalagmites, something that looks like an altar, few paintings, pigeons and plenty of pigeons' faeces. It stinks inside of the cave. In my opinion, not worth seeing.

Nice and quite in the evening
Jul 2021 • Family
Nice,large cave with easy access. Better to bring a lamp with you to check your steps. We arrived in the evening around 7pm and we were alone in the cave.

Good moment, worst a stop
Jun 2021 • Family
Good walk up the hill with a nice stop halfway to take a refreshment. The temperature is nice in the cave and the visit is agreeable. Don’t forget to have no slippery shoes and a lamp with you to explore it safely.

30. 8. 2020 beautiful, mystical place. Admission is free, but it depends on your decision how much EU you want to contribute. The path to the cave leads uphill around the tavern. You can park on the road. I recommend to everyone. More youtube travel video PSIS-visit. Iva + Petr CZ Prague

Amazing

Very climatic cave, which is worth seeing on the way to Elafonisi. Less than 300 degrees will introduce you to another world. Wonderful experience and wonderful views.

Small cosy cave
Aug 2020 • Family
We stopped for eating in nearby taverna and by excited discovered this cave. It is really small so travel specially to see it is not worth in my opinion but if you travel fo Elafonisi beach you can stop over and visit it connecting with lunch in Taverna Romantza. Luckily cave is free of charge but whole sightseeing can take even only five minutes. It’s good to have any light as cave is not equipped and with kinds it’s a bit risky to walk without any flashlight.

Nothing special
Oct 2019 • Family
Having seen Real caves this is nothing special. It is a fine place to make a stop if you want a break on the drive to or back from elafonissi. But if you went There just to see it you would be quite dissapointed.

Cave

Interesting and atmospheric. A nice stop off in the mountains. Not busy when we visited. A bit of a climb if you have mobility problems.

Not that impressive
Sep 2019 • Couples
Approx 260 steps to get to the caves and the little church in the cave.
It is unusual but unless you are into that sort of thing not that impressive.
On the other hand it is free to enter so worth a visit
