Neptune's Grotto • Section 1 of 5

You are standing at the edge of Capo Caccia, atop a dramatic limestone cliff that plunges straight into the cobalt waters of the Mediterranean Sea. This location, known as the Antro or the cave of Neptune, is named after the Roman god of the sea, and for good reason. Legend says it was his refuge from the crashing waves, and as you begin your exploration, you will understand why. Located about twenty-four kilometers from the Catalan town of Alghero, this landmark is the crown jewel of the Porto Conte Natural Park. Whether you have reached this entrance by a scenic boat journey or by descending the winding stairs along the rock face, take a moment to breathe in the salty air. You are about to enter a subterranean world two point five million years in the making, where time itself seems to slow to the rhythm of a single water droplet.
