Hiking

Cave with a natural escape of water vapor with volcanic gases inside, used since ancient times for its properties.
It is a real natural sauna made up of two rooms: an external one with stone seats where there is room for 5/6 people and an internal part where the steam comes out through a crack in the rock.
Free access

Hiking

Very suggestive place, it is possible to have a real sauna. I strongly advise against entry to asthmatic people, people who suffer from high blood pressure, and in general to anyone who is not in excellent shape. Unfortunately, it is very easy to lose consciousness inside due to the hot vapors that fill the cave.
