The owner gave a personal tour in this small cave under her home.
Price: donation-based, no recommended amount, but give what you can. The owner is friendly and gives a personal touch to the visit, which feels more intimate than the high-budget Malta Heritage attractions.
Duration: 10-20 minutes + 0-10 minutes wait.
No need to book in advance but note the short opening hours.
And yes, there are two caves under homes within 400 meters of each other with a similar story. Not sure if the area has more undiscovered ones?
