★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On a very hot day we found some reprieve because the caves are about 10 degrees cooler than the actual outdoor temperature! We were basically alone walking through history and it was well worth the detour. Make sure to have a granita next door after the tour, which takes about 45 minutes to cool down.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic place to see catacombs and learn about the history. Lovely views and atmosphere. The children loved the caves. Worth the small entrance fee and highly recommended if in the area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Off the beaten path, but well worth the visit.
These historic caves have had people living in/nearby since neolithic times, and the area is utterly fascinating. Read up on it before you go (the literature on site isn't the greatest). Also, be prepared for stuff to be in a somewhat rough condition. Then again, that's part of the charm...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The place was an awesome experience, but only 3 stars, because most of the area at the time of this review was closed due to construction.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 euro for only 3 sights of an archeological canyon that stretches 13 kilometer long, and a staff that stops speaking english when you complain afterwards...
There are so many ways to improve for the staff...
There are several maps located on the site - as well by the ticket office - showing the full area and sights of the canyon, but (as I wrote before) they only sell tickets for a very narrow area and just 3 sights.
No explanation from the staff why theres no entrance to the whole area...
You can enter the canyon from Ispica instead and walk almost 13 kilometers with the right gear and condition into the Canyon.
We don't recomment you to take the entrance from Modica - unless you want to see only 3 sights...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Parts of the site (archeological excavations) are at the moment (April 2022) closed and not accessible. Our visit was still interesting - you still get to see some interesting ancient carved out constructions.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The ancient cave catacombs and gathering area were fascinating. We visited an old water mill as well which was great.
