The Cave of the Dreamers is located on the large lava flow of 1792/3. The cavity does not have a significant development, about 30 meters, but it has a single very large room, at least 6/ meters high. Furthermore, the hypogeum has two openings, one of which can be used for easy access, which offer good internal lighting. From the main room two channels develop, upstream and downstream, which however quickly become blocked. Outside the cave there are two very interesting lava flow channels that fork. At the time of the survey there were no common signs of human passage, men or other. It is assumed that it was known by the shepherds of the area.
