Look at the fossil evidence from beneath the hill before the cave's formations and health folklore take over the story
The display gives scientific context to material recovered from the cave. Hundreds of fossil bone specimens have been reported, with spotted hyena especially prominent alongside deer, horses and smaller animals. Used before or after the underground route, the collection helps separate the cave's deep environmental record from its later human stories and popular claims about air quality. It is a focused local display rather than a broad natural-history museum.
Access is commonly tied to cave operations, so confirm one current timetable for both rather than relying on a museum directory. Allow thirty to forty-five minutes and expect some labels to be in Greek. Do not touch specimens or use flash where prohibited. The cave entrance and exhibition may involve different levels; ask specifically about steps, lift availability and seating. Anyone with respiratory or mobility concerns should seek professional advice rather than treating local therapeutic claims as a medical recommendation.
