Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A nice cave, if you have some time to spend. Its Not spectacular, but good enough to kill an hour or two. The way up to the cave has a beautiful view
Dont forget to bring a flashlight! It is small and you need to climb some stones if you wann to get deep into it.
Not recommened for children.

Big cave, kids were impressed. Not a lot to do there anyway, just walk down the hill, otherwise could be a bit more looked after for the visitors. At least maybe a toilet facility.

Nice views from the top though!

The Cave of Skotino has amazing acoustics that completely impressed us.
I hope the Municipality will quickly realize its importance and ensure the smooth descent of visitors to its depth.

This cave is very raw and undeveloped, but a spectacular experience. It's not hard to see why it was sacred. Definitely bring light if you plan to explore deeper (more than a camera flashlight).

Worth a visit, very 'untouristy' which is a positive in itself. Wear good shoes, be prepared to tackle a steep & roughish way down into the cave (and back up again) but it's worth it. We had a 2 year old with us so didn't go too deep, if you're freer than we were do ensure you have a good torch as there is no lighting/guides/signs at all.

Just don't think of the film The Descent!

This cave is free to visit. it is in a secluded place and you are led to it by means of a path. We found this cave impressive and we walked down, but it didn't seem wise to us to go further into the cave unaccompanied. Furthermore it was very quiet, we were the only ones here.

Nice cave if you like exploring by yourself however it's not suitable for children or when traveling alone as there's no help available and it's located in a remote area.

This is a proper raw cave. Not too hard to figure find now as Google will get you there. Two Interesting churches to see then descend into the cave. You can get into the first main cavern in sandals. Take a torch. Amazing depths we didn't dare explore without better gear as it drops off to a clamber down to access lower levels.. Fabulously undeveloped and raw.

We looked for this cave on our last visit three years ago. This time we persisted to the end of the tarmacced road and then anther 1/2 miles of gravel road to a tiny church perched above a deep pit. Down lots of steps was the enormous Skotino cave. The entrance is huge(wide and high) the steps lead down into a huge cavern(high,wide and of enormous length)
You need to take good footwear as some areas are damp and slippery and a powerful torch (with a long beam) due to the sheer size. The size and mix of colours of the stalagmites and stalagctites are spectacular.
Chambers with wide passageways lead to further chambers 3 in all. There is a second entrance I am told.
It was deserted when we arrived. When we left an hour later we passed a car on the road( which may have been going to the occasional house off the road or to one of the few vineyards and olive groves.
Although much cooler as most caves are it is also very humid.
Well worth the effort of finding it.
