THE GROTTO OF CALA ROTONDA
The grotto of the neophytes
At the exit from Cala Rotonda, a charming pathway that provides access to a cave (through alternating polychrome and widely varied passages), can be found on the right hand side. Light effects, semi-dark chambers, colourful pinnacles, and spectacular rock faces provide a thrilling experience for the onlooker. The entrance to the cave can be found at a depth of about 6-8 metres. The area is also of interest for freedivers.

Cala Minnola
Amphorae in the sea grass
In the water off Cala Minnola, at just a few dozen metres from Punta Albarella, a Roman shipwreck can be found at a depth of 27 to 30 m. The wreck features the remains of a shipload of amphorae (fifty), as well as numerous fragments of black painted pottery (used on-board), which have remained in their original location on the seabed.
