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.

Après avoir descendus 654 marches , en longeant la falaise nous arrivons pour 9h, heure de la première visite. Pas encore de bateau donc un petit groupe d'une vingtaine de personnes. Nous avons pu faire de belles photos. Guide multilingue. Remonter est plus dur mais ça vaut le coup d'y être descendu!!!

Certes, beaucoup de marches pour y descendre, mais si les genoux sont bons, ne pas hésiter à faire ce choix plutôt que d'accoster directement à l'entrée de la grotte, car le paysage ainsi en surplomb de la mer est fantastique ! et les efforts sont oubliés. Même les mouettes nous encouragent ! de plus, ça laisse le libre choix de l'horaire de visite, et donc la possibilité de ne pas être dans une foule importante débarquée. Belle grotte, mais j'insiste, la descente par la falise compte pour moitié dans l’intérêt de la visite. (juin 2011)

Première visite dans une grotte et très satisfait par celle-ci! Après avoir accosté en bateau, belle découverte de la grotte lors d'une visite de 45 minutes environ

Très belle grotte. Deux accès pour y aller, descendre par un escalier avec un nb de marches très importants ou y aller en bateau, c'est ce que nous avons fait et la particularité c'est l'accostage direct à l'entrée de la grotte, assez périlleux! Seul bémol, un peu trop touristique à mon goût et donc énormément de monde dans la grotte (et pourtant en juin!)
Simply magnificent!
If you go to Sardaigen is the place required where you must stop.
