THE CAVES OF DAEDALUS
There is a place where, for thousands of years, the earth has shared with humankind its deepest breath.
It is the dwelling of Cronos, father of Zeus, god of Time, fertility, and agriculture. Here, myth is at home.
These are, very likely, the oldest thermal baths in the world. Said to have been shaped by the great Athenian architect Daedalus, who arrived here after escaping the labyrinth of Crete and losing his son Icarus.
It is where a saint, Saint Calogero, in the 16th century, had his patients sit to treat respiratory illnesses. That it was good for both body and spirit is confirmed by the very name of the saint: in Ancient Greek, Calogeros means “the beautiful elder.” Here, people age very, very well.
A truly unique place in the world, where you can enjoy one of the special experiences in Sciacca, the City of the Five Senses.
