Grotte Verde is one of the many caves in Salento that is absolutely not to be missed. It is close to Marina di Andrano in the La Botte area and the cave is accessed following a rocky descent. To get to the cave you have to swim there and the reflection of the sun makes the walls and water green.

Posted in the Salento Bizantino collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - The indications regarding opening times and days are present in front of the entrance gate, unfortunately, however, despite having planned the arrival in an adequate manner, the crypt is remained closed. Asked for information from the local authorities (traffic policeman) present in the nearby fair area, he reports that, for maintenance reasons, the crypt is now inaccessible (October 2022). According to him, perhaps, by the end of this year it should be usable again. Too bad not to report it through the information channels in an official way ... https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cripta_della_Madonna_della_Grotta

Posted in Salento Bizantino collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - The crypt Madonna della Consolazione is presented in a very discreet way on the side of a road that leads to the heart of the village of San Cassiano. The half-closed entrance gate is an invitation to the steps that descend into the hypogeum environment that highlights the Byzantine frescoes as soon as the eyes get used to the dim light present. The altar presents in an exceptional way the image of the Madonna and focuses all the attention. Do not forget to look around ... Thanks to those who have decided to leave free access to the crypt, a great gesture of openness and trust towards the visitor. It is not so obvious to receive it but, above all, it will be a must to earn the trust by respecting this gift. https://www.salentoacolory.it/la-cripta-della-madonna-della-consolazione/
