Frecce delle Grotte S.R.L
One of the fascinating natural jewels in the entire Mediterranean basin, the grotto is a veritable geological wonder that attracts over 150,000 visitors per year. It is accessible by sea or on foot via "Escala del Cabirol" ("Billy Goat Stairs'), a set of 660 steps cut into the cliffside. Inside the cave, carved out for millions of years by the water, there is the beautiful La Marmora lake, about 120 meters long, a tribute to Alberto La Marmora, the Italian geographer after whom it takes its name, who first of all explored these shores. All around the lake, you can found numerous columns of stalactites and stalagmites that can reach a height varying from 10 to 15 meters. On the right, you can see, finally, a small beach, once used by the monk seals from the Central Mediterranean, species now extinct.
