The caves are narrow, and you'll need a flashlight. Beware of the bats. Don't disturb their hibernation, or they'll die.

Fascination. The 1000-year-old underground vaults over 4 floors were found more or less by accident during the renovation of the half-destroyed house above and were partially renovated again. It has its own chapel, cistern, storage rooms for olives and an olive mill... The visit for 6 euros is definitely worth a look
