Cave of St. John - North Entrance

Highlight • Cave

The cave is accessible from both sides, but the official entrance, where the ticket office and information point are also located, is the south one, on the opposite side. It is also possible to enter from this side by ringing the intercom and waiting for an operator to come and open the door for you. Entrance to the cave is subject to a fee and is only possible during opening hours. More information is available on the website: grottasangiovanni.com

San Giovanni Cave Trail

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful stretch of road through a broadleaf forest, which leads to the northern entrance of the cave of San Giovanni. The cave is always open but to access it you have to book the entrance, which has a very small cost. Cycling inside a karst complex is a unique experience in the world!

Very nice circular tour from the MARCO POLO OUTDOOR GUIDE through the San Giovanni cave and then back along a very nice mountain hiking trail.
It is also a good hike in midsummer, as 80% of the walking is in partial shade.
Various hiking trails cross it, so the tour can be extended as desired.
The cave is absolutely worth …
