Пещера Прометея - это не только природное чудо, но и место, пропитанное историей и мифологией.
Удивительно, насколько огромную протяжённость имеет это место. Интересно, хоть кто-то прошёл пещеру целиком и возможно ли это?
Жаль, что нет сведений о том, почему именно это место носит название пещера Прометея.
издалека кажется что это просто кусок бескрайнего космоса, ууух, завораживающее зрелище!!! А на сколько удобно покупать онлайн билет, и возможность предъявить его в электронном виде, да и ещё не стоять в очереди - это вообще 5+. Никогда не устану благодарить автора за такие прекрасные статьи.
