Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 123 reviews
A place where archeology and nature, history and landscape intertwine harmoniously... An ancient rocky settlement, which stands between century old trees and stately conifers, where tombs, pigeon coops, ancient wineries, an arabic qanat, and a Byzantine stone church are still evident among these majestic rock walls. Histories of the diverse races of people who followed each other here from prehistoric times are engraved into the civil, religious, and funerary rock of its architecture. Nature and its landscape, in which the Byzantine Village is located, is outstanding. It is immersed in a forest of eucalyptus and pine trees on the higher slopes, where you can enjoy a splendid view of the Morello Valley and its lake while below in the valley, you find yourself in the lush Vallone Canalotto among ancient springs and Mediterranean scrub flora and plants which the ancient inhabitants of this place used for healing, nutrition or for their magical rituals. We recommend to book in advance.
