There are three small dry karst halls and several passages between them, but there are so many interesting things! Firstly, the temperature is +12 in winter and +15 in summer. Secondly, dryness.
These two features turn the cave into a convenient place for ancient people to live and for the good preservation of archaeological finds. Ancient leather shoes were found here, as well as ceramic vessels where the first wine was stored along with the bones of people.
It's just a pity that they take guided tours here after the tasting, so the audience is often tipsy. We came across a knowledgeable and interested guide, who, alas, could not tell us as interesting as she wanted to.
Admission is 1,500 per person, and the tour in Russian was free. 3.01.2025

Be careful!
There is a parking lot next to the cave entrance and another large parking lot on the left with a restaurant and a winery
Suspicious security guards with dogs collect money for parking at the entrance
We drove by in the car and the target was a restaurant
As soon as we got out of the car, a dog ran aggressively at us from the guard at the entrance to the cave! We miraculously survived, they bit us and no one even helped. I wouldn't be surprised if they specifically sent their aggressive dog at us. This is an extremely unsafe place.
No one wants to be responsible for this. Then they just took the dog away. And no one explained, and as a result, there was no trace. But 3-4 people and 3-4 mongrel dogs were on duty at the entrance, and a Caucasian dog attacked us.
No civilization, this place is dangerous!
Terrible
There are no photos, because in a state of effect, we went to the medical clinic to get medical help and did not wait for the police officers who were called.
It is clear that there is an atmosphere of panic, threats and dangers here
While passing through, we decided to stop at a restaurant and drive on.
They write at the bottom that the Americans are sponsoring it; then the attitude is clear that they are sending their dog to Russian tourists, there is no security
And in general, I noticed everywhere they collect money from scratch, no tickets, no civility.,
Some people with aggression with dogs

Two karst halls, compact, but how interesting! This is one of the first preserved caves with karas, where wine was made for religious purposes. Lots of interesting things, including live bats... Wow
