Drive by car or bus to Capo Caccia and then take the grueling descent to the Grotte di Nettuno. The path itself is worth it, the grotto itself is also worth seeing, but there are more beautiful and less expensive ones in Sardinia. All in all, however, an experience.

Hiking

The grotto, located just one meter above sea level, opens at the foot of an impressive 110-meter-high cliff and is only accessible on days with calm seas. For those seeking adventure, the spectacular descent via the "Escala del Cabirol," the Deer's Ladder, is a must. With 654 steps etched almost vertically into the cliff face, this path is not only a challenge but also an experience in itself. Many have reported how impressive this descent alone is, allowing you to watch the boats dock and get a first glimpse of the cave formations.
