Zoniana village is very near to the cave. It is a village that
will remain etched in your memory because of the peculianties of
its inhabitants. Ignore the signposts riddled with bullet-holes.
They have been used as targets by aspiring pistolleros. You are
in no danger... You will meet men with rough faces, tough guys
wearing black shirts, boots and occasionally "stivania" and
`sarikia" (headscarves). Their wild looks will
initially deter you from approaching them, but if you persist,
you will find that they are good
company, and discover their somewhat.., eccentric mentality.
In general, Zoniana is an architecturally attractive village, and
the tavernas offer delicious roast or boiled meat. The dairy products
are very pure and delicious.
