Castellana Grotte is a town in Puglia and home to one of the country’s most stunning cave systems. It even has many attractions dating back to the Middle Ages. The town centre is where you’ll find most of these ancient buildings, such as churches and Town Hall. However, the highlight of any visit here is Grotte di Castellana, a six-minute drive from Traversa Tratturo Fanelli. With a length of 3,348 m (10,984 ft) and a depth below street level of 122 m (400 ft), the vastness of the cave system means you need a guide to take you through it. You’ll see fascinating formations of stalactites, stalagmites, and ancient fossils. Another go-to attraction here is Indiana Park Parco Avventure, where kids will have fun! Complete your escape by staying in comfortable accommodations. Read on to find the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Castellana Grotte, Italy.
