The cellars carved into the tuff rock were created more than 1,100 years ago.
During the Ottoman raids and the Second World War they served as hiding places in times of danger, and they were later filled in. So far, 4 have been uncovered and opened to the public. Bottle-shaped holes – narrow at the top and wider at the bottom – are hollowed out of the rock inside the cellars and were used to store grain. The temperature in the tuff cellars ranges from 12 °C to 17 °C. They are home to protected bats and surrounded by beautiful countryside and silence.
