The findings of the historical from Paleolithic era are amazing..! The place is clean and has big garden. Its only available in Italian, we have to use auto translator apps to understand what the guide said but that's OK. The tour takes not long, less than 40 minutes as its only small cave. But after that you can freely walking around to the garden. Hopefully they find another magnificent findings in the future. An amazing piece of history. The bull carvings are the originals, although the human burials are copies, but in situ as found. Excellent guide who spoke good English. A rare opportunity to look into the lives of early stone age mankind. It's interesting, but the tour guide only spoke fast Italian, so unless you speak decent Italian, you'd miss the most interesting part which is the story behind the find. The was small and simple the archeological finds were interesting. It is 75 minutes drive from the coast, and whole tour last less than 30 minutes. Also staff have extended siesta and we had to wait extra hour. Anyway there are several human remaining from stone age and painting of the bull, plus pretty small cave. You cannot even close to compare with large systems in other places Slovakia or Slovenia. Therefore it is not worth visiting if you are going only for this site in region, but if you have other activities as rafting so maybe it is worth as side attraction. By the way staff speak only Italian :( Super special place to visit. Tour guide was great, spoke in English and Italian. Great display in Italian with English at bottom explaining the history of the area and the finds.The itself was very interesting showing the various levels archaeologists had researched.Great little at back with usual features including small bats. 1. the staff doesn't speak English. 2. the is too small to be worth the drive from the coast. 3. 6eur per person, too high a price, there are more impressive caves around. I'm sure the Grotta is amazing, but we didn't get to see it because, despite arriving there 40 minutes before closing time, we were told it was too late and to come back the next day. Having read in other reviews that the visit lasts about half an hour, it should not have been a problem. I guess the ladies working there had other plans for the night, as after sending us on our way they got in a car themselves and left the Grotta well before 18, which the website indicates as closing time.
