We were with my wife and son in July 2024, we liked it, the size of the caves, huge vaults, the lake are impressive, it's very atmospheric, and when Bach was turned on, the atmosphere became even more fascinating) It's cool in the cave, somewhere +14-+15 I walked in a T-shirt, it was comfortable, my wife and son froze a little, the tour was long-about an hour and a half, so be patient, do not buy permission for photo and video shooting, no one there will give you a hand, take pictures for your health!
A wonderful tram. Huge atmospheric grottoes. Turquoise lakes. Long, high bridges. Stalactites and stalagmites. Fabulous outlines of the underworld, the play of shadows from colored spotlights. Clean saturated air. All this was very impressive and etched into my memory. I recommend it! In summer, add about half an hour of standing in line at the ticket office to the time of the tour.
This is not the first time in this place. The cave is above all praise very beautiful. The guides perfectly tell the story of the discovery and exploration of this cave. Overshadowing all this splendor is the dining room on the second floor, in which the food is terribly disgusting, as well as the dining room + opposite the New Athos Cave - in their terrible-tasting food, hair was found right inside the cooked casserole.
