The caves are very well tourist oriented. We had an English speaking guide which was excellent. For us it was strange to find a nice big caves in Puglia. Definitely wort a visit.
castellana grotte is a beautiful, breath taking caves. they are under ground and have the feel past, with dancers leg,snake, pure white caves ......amazing place
Pictures don't due justice to the beauty of these caves. The colors, the sheer magnitude of the site is something that has to been seen firsthand. I highly recommend a visit to the Grotte if you are in the area.
At a constant 17 degrees C - 62 degrees F these caves are very cool! Breathtaking views and fun to be a spelunker explorer for the day. The tour at €15 p/p including guide is well worth the visit. The walk is approximately 3 kms long and takes approximately 1.5 hours. Guides operate in several languages but you should check to see when your preferred language departs. The path can be a bit wet and slippery so wear a good hiking shoe or boot.
First time visiting. Amazing. It was over the christmas season so could see the nativity. Unfortunately caves were closed for the full tour. Would definitely visit again. Very friendly and helpful guides.
Quite a fascinating aray of caves and natural passageways with a mass of stalactites and stalagmites discovered only 76 years ago. The caves go to depths of almost 200 feet or more, definitely worth a visit.
As said our guide, this cave is a symphony of spells ... what we see here, sustains his breath. This is the queen of all caves, all are special but this one has a special story and catacter. Each part of this cave reflet the grandeur of a world unknown to us. Can not lose !!
As per all the previous reviews, these caves are stunning and worth the effort. If you using the train, get down at grotte di castellana n not the other one..or you will hv to walk just about 2kms to get to the caves!Do the long walk..the white caves are definitely the highlight of it all.The English guided tours are only at 11am n 4pm...so do plan it well, n be ready for any cancellations or changes regarding the trains in Southern Italy (which is what happened in my case)!
If you've been to some of the larger caverns in the world, this one may not impress you but it is an interesting site. The tour is not the best...you will likely be herded into large groups that make hearing the guide virtually impossible. But the main attraction is the caverns themselves so do not let this deter you from visiting. Enjoy the views and be impressed by the wonder of it all.
It was the first time that I have every seen anything like is.It is a must se if you are visiting area, as its something that you are sure to remember.My visit was during Christmas so I was also able to see the nativity, which was amazing.
