This network of hillside caverns, carved out of the basalt rock between the 11th and 14th centuries but only rediscovered in the 20th century, was once home to a group of Greek Orthodox hermit-monks. A mix of living quarters, chapels, and dining rooms, the caves have since been restored and stabilized with columns, making them safe to visit. You'll find them on the eastern slopes of Óvár hill; follow the green hiking route through the forest from Tihany town, or park your car at the kiinduló pont (starting point) and walk 300 meters downhill to the biggest cave.
Access is via a steep woodland path, so you'll need hiking boots and should avoid visiting during or after heavy rain.
