Very good experience long uneven path leading to cave, as we walked there would have liked some info at the point of entry as we never had any in our hotel as the history is fascinating
Amazing place.... Spectacular yet scary yet mysterious....Makes you feel like you are Indiana jones!!! What else could anyone want!
it's really fun. First you won't find it in usual tourist guide. Second it looks abandoned, nobody looks after this, no light inside, no guard, nobody at all. Flashlight will be helpful if you want explore the cave. Little chapel inside. You might even find it adventurous.
this is ok if you want a proper caving experience.no fancy lights or steps......just a deep dark cave.we bought a small torch of a lovely couple(originally from birmingham) who were outside the cave. i also bought a lovely knitted pink panther which my son loves.the torch wasnt great as its pitch black in here.there is a really sad story behind this cave which makes it more spooky.i banged my head on the roof really hard and when i looked up it was crawling with bugs and huge spiders.my husband went down a bit further and saw lots of bats.great if you come prepared with suitable clothing and a huuuuge torch.
High in mountains with breath taking views. Need a light or torch as cave is dark. Historical and emotional place to visit.
Travelled by car, can be walked to from Milatos if its cloudy!!! The path to the cave from the road is a little lumpy the cave is very dark and quite deep, a torch is definitely needed, inside the cave the floor is very uneven with some rather large hollows, small chapel in there too. Weve been nothing to write home about!!!!
I can't emphasise enough the need for a torch (my phone flashlight was invaluable). It is very low inside so great care needs to be taken. Once inside, it's very eerie and atmospheric. You can't go too far in but if you stop to think about it's history, it's worth the long, hot walk up.
Having spent numerous holidays in Greece, basically not moving from the beach, I was in awe! Spent a week early October exploring caves, waterfalls and beautiful traditional villages in the mountains. Milatos cave must be my favourite one. After having a meal in a family tavern in nearby Kounali (a must go!) we left the car on road and walked to the cave. We were the only people there (visited early October) which was wonderful. The path leading to the cave is cute, the views amazing and all you can hear are goats’ bells. The cave is wonderfully spooky with a chapel at the end. It is not very high but it makes the whole experience exciting. A must go!
Stunning views of the surrounding area, and very interesting to see the small church in the inside, to which the locals make an annual pilgrimage. Call in to Kohili in Milatos before or after to hear all the history from Eleni!
A nice ex pat english couple rent out torches to see the cave. Some degree of agility needed to get the best out of the cave. 5K from the Minos Imperial. Lovely drive by quad bike
