Length 2 days/1 night

First day:
Arrival in Palinuro (SA) in the morning. Departure from the port for an excursion, it is possible to visit the Blue Grotto that is the most extended and known cavity of the whole grottoes complex of Capo Palinuro. The name and the charm of this grotto comes from the wonderful effect produced by the blue that, apparently comes from the seabed, highlights the whole habitat making it almost unreal and suggestive. This wonderful effect happens thanks to the sun light coming from a submariner siphon. The tour will continue and will show the Sangue (Blood) Grotto whose name comes from the sinister colour of the inner walls, characterised by a striking red colour that reflects in the sea waters and makes out a red nuance. Beyond the Mammone point, in the so called Cala Fetente, there is the Sulphurous Grotto, the greatest expression of the hydrothermal phenomenon in Capo Palinuro. Its seabed and its walls emit vapours of sulphydric acids, that give at the area the typical and characteristic sulphur smell. After the sangue Grotto, there is the Monaci (Monks) Grotto: in this grotto there are very particular and characteristic stalagmites formations, that in the fantastic imaginary seem little monks enveloped in the habits. The Buondormire Bay, ancient and suggestive mermaids abode, will conclude this extraordinary tour. This is a gorge settled between the sea and the overlooking rocky wall, a place of indescribable beauty and quite hidden among the Capo Palinuro gorges. Package lunch.
