CAVES: UNDERGROUND PALACES
The Crimea is blessed with some of the most awe inspiring caverns in the world. For thousands of years nature has been at work slowly creating this magical underworld. There are about 850 caverns already explored, and each year 10 or more are discovered.
Four caves presently are open for public tours, and have been designed to offer an incredible glimpse into this beautiful underground world.
Cement steps assure safety, and lighting is spaced throughout to enhance the magical array of colors and formations nature has so cleverly hidden below the earth for ages. Your guide will point out images that when viewed, will seem that nature has created below earth, what has been created above. Chatir-Dag Mountain is home for two caverns open to the public. The Onix cavern explorers club has taken responsibility for preserving this natural wonder, and have done a wonderful job. The club is very careful to ensure the caverns are not damaged and remain in their natural state for the future.
You may be very fulfilled with the public tour, as they are very rewarding in beauty and wonder. We offer the private cavern exploration for the extreme adventurous who want to experience all the sights available on
Chatir-Dag.
Very near the public cavern on Chatir Dag, inexpensive cabins are available for rent, and for the adventurous, one can explore caverns that are not normally explored with a typical tour package. These caverns remain in their natural state, as they have since their creation by nature, and are not designed for a regular tour. An experienced guide is mandatory for exploring these caverns.
