Sardinia prides upon its caves, some of them on the sea shore, but most of them on land. The most important sea caves are the cave of Neptune at Capo Caccia and the cave Bue Marino at Ogliastra. Less known is the cave of Su Meraculu nearby Cala Sisine at Baunei.
The sea caves are outnumbered by the land caves, filled with formations of stalactites, stalagmites and columns and its faces covered with white needle-shaped aragonite. Most of the caves can be visited in all seasons. The sea caves have a particular charm with the marine life sounds in the background, like a live performed natural soundtrack. We strongly advise against visiting underwater caves on your own.
We mention the most famous caves: Is Zuddas, Su Mannau, Su Murmuri, San Giovanni, Ispinigoli, San Michele di Ozieri, Santa Barbara, Is Janas, Sa Oghe and Su Bentu, Grotta Corbeddu.
