… In the Porto Conte Park and Cape Caccia – Isola Piana Protected Marine Area, the imposing chalky massif of Cape Caccia, with its vertiginous cliffs dominating the sea, guards another precious gift of nature: the Grotta Verde and the Grotte di Nettuno (Neptune’s Grottos). The latter can be reached by boat or by the 656 steps of the “Escala del Cabirol”. Netune’s Grottos, featuring stalactites, stalagmites and a vast salt-water lake, is spectacular and imposing, and considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.

… Also in the Park, you can visit the State-owned forest commonly known as Noah’s Ark, a fauna reserve measuring several hundreds of hectares and covered in Mediterranean scrub. Rich in paths suitable for trekking enthusiasts, the fauna reserve is visited by many tourists who, walking in the perennially green area among dwarf palms, strawberry trees and scented rosemary, can admire various species of Sardinian flora and fauna, spot animals such as the white donkey of the Asinara National Park and the horses of Giara di Gesturi, and admire flying griffons, falcons and sea-gulls (bird watching).
