Neptune's Grotto, Italy

It was discovered by accident by local fishermen in the 18th century. But it took a long time for the cave to be made available to tourists. It happened in the middle of the 20th century, when the stairs leading to its interior were built. Since then, the grotto has become immensely popular with visitors to Sardinia. What attracts tourists there? Magnificent karst formations that decorate its interior and a salt lake in which the rocks are beautifully reflected. The only drawback of Neptune's Grotto is the fact that it is visited by crowds of tourists during the season.
