Of all the caves hidden in the cliffs of Cape Caccia, Neptune's cave is the most famous. It is one of the most beautiful sights in Alghero and one of the most precious geological wonders of the Mediterranean basin. The complexity of this vast cave, 2,500 metres long, is due to the many rooms that make it up, its vast galleries and its lakes with clear water. Among them, the 100-metre-long Lake La Marmora is one of the largest salt lakes in Europe. The part of the cave open to the public is accessible by boat from Alghero when the sea is calm. Many operators will lure you to the port. The cave can also be reached on foot from the cape by a picturesque 654-step staircase clinging to the cliffside. Count on 20 minutes with a good rhythm and think about the ascent... A visit not to be missed!

Good to know. In case of bad weather, the cave may close. So as not to travel for nothing, call the tourist office beforehand and they will give you information. Make sure you have enough cash to pay for the entrance tickets, as credit cards are not accepted. It is not easy to park near the site when it is busy. Park along the road leading to the cave as soon as possible. The site is also very crowded in the summer, and guided tours can be very crowded. Come as soon as it opens or for the last visit and, if you can, choose to visit out of season.

A éviter en août?
Très belle grotte... de grandes salles impressionnantes. Mais franchement la visite assez décevante. Il faut se presser, on est bassiné d'une voie radio en plusieurs langues qui répète des consignes pendant 1H (et l'effet résonance de la grotte a de quoi vous faire mal au crâne). Et en août (semaine du 15 août en tout cas), je déconseillerai l'accès à pied (on a vu l'immense queue dans les escaliers en plein soleil...). Nous avons choisi l'option bateau... que nous n'avons pas réussi à réserver (les mails ou téléphone ne nous ont jamais répondu...). Donc en arrivant le matin à 10h à Alghero on a pu avoir un bateau pour un départ 13h en demandant à 2/3 compagnies aux abord du porc.

Un très beau site à découvrir hors saison pour éviter les afflux de touristes. Le site est magnifique avec ses grottes, ses lacs artificiels et ses stalactites. Seule une partie de la grotte est accessible aux visites.
Attention, la visite en bateau ne comprend pas l'entrée dans la grotte.

mon conseil : visiter hors saison et passer par les escaliers . et encore mieux y venir à vélo .

Pour les moins courageux,l'arrivée par bateau permet de découvrir le capo caccia autrement.La grotte est bien mise en valeur avec de jolis jeux de lumière.Il faut arriver tôt car les bateaux se bousculent à l'entrée.
