Caves Country of Foggia

The red of the Tomato Grotto, on the other hand, is due to the typical molluscs that with their shape similar to tomatoes surround the walls of the cave giving it a cheerful and original appearance. But the Gargano promontory also has numerous marine watchtowers that have been inserted in some locations on the coast not for strictly defensive purposes, but for reporting the danger of invasions of Saracen pirates.

Two adjoining entrances introduce to a corridor that leads to the end of the cave, we find them a broken cave that houses a beach and a natural pool with very clear waters.

Among others it is the decidedly more suggestive one because it widens from 6 to 14 meters to end with the formation of a characteristic beach. The minimum depth of the water allows you to glimpse a clean and bright background that enchants the gaze of visitors. The sun, which through a play of light, penetrates into the clear waters, produces a beautiful turquoise color on the walls of the cave that is located at the foot of the Ripa dei Falconi and is exactly the meeting point of some rare types of hawks that go to nest, right among those rocks.

It owes its name to the swallows who prepare the nest inside it. It has the characteristic of being supported by two natural pillars and is famous because the sun creates particular reflections of light that make it almost magical.

It is called this not only because on its rocks an infinite variety of very fragrant violets grow but also because on its very clear seabed, it is possible to see molluscs and fish that take on a purplish hue thanks to the play of sunlight that enters through the louvers.

This cave is famos for the immense amount of salt that can be found inside that gives an almost unnatural whiteness to the cave.

The Manaccora cave is located in the homonymous bay located between the towns of Peschici and Vieste. The cave is considered an archaeological site of international interest and is one of the most important testimonies of the Bronze Age in Italy. Several tools, weapons and funerary kits were found here, as well as the remains of a vast primitive home.

Also know as "two Eyes Cave" the cave has two openings. one hidden by the vegetation and a second one, larger, that leads through a narrow passage to an indoor beach with blue-emerald water. The cave is lit by natural light through a crack in the rock.

The entrance to the cave is located under a rocky part of white color, interrouted by streaks of black onyx. The name was given to her because of the very high internal temperature, created by hot springs.

It's a real natural miracle. It is a set of rocks, stacks, caves and natural arches placed in Rule d'Arte according to the laws of Mother Nature.

It is accessed by boat and is an absolutely suggestive place. Once inside the cave, you are surrounded by reflections and sparkles and the water takes on a brilliant and crystal clear turquoise color, thanks to the sunlight that filters from the entrance and illuminates the bottom of the sea , particularly transparent.

The special feature of this cave is in its colors and its reflections. Tucked away in a sheltered cove, where visitors find themselves wrapped up in a bright blue color that gives the place a truly magical atmosphere, it is definitely one of the most recommended caves for those who prefer diving excursions and discover the creatures that inhabit the rich seabed.

Inside, visitors can't help but hear a series of sounds of natural origin, undoubtedly rather suggestive. It is also called the Emerald Grotto because of the shades of green that the water assumes here.
