A beautiful and Impressive cave that you can visit in 2 ways: 1. Swim there from the nearby shores 2. Rent a paddle boat or a kayak Either way, the cave is nice a cool and is fun to visit! I don't have a photo of it because I swam there and couldn't bring a camera 🫣

Beautiful place, only accessible by the sea. The cave is pretty wide and even has its own little beach. It is right under the Santuario di Santa Maria, like a hidden pearl. Definitely a great stop during our kayaking trip !
