The mystical Neptune’s Grotto
Neptune’s Grotto is a stalactite cave near Alghero on the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia. Some local fishermen discovered the cave in the 18th century, and it has since become a popular tourist attraction. The cave is named after Neptune, the Roman God of the sea.
Tourists visiting Neptune’s Grotto are led single-file through a lit pathway by tour guides who provide information about the cave in both Italian and English. The grotto is popular and can hold up to 200 people at a time during the peak tourist season in August.
