The Grotta Verde (Green Cave) is a magnificent example of a sea cave found along that stretch of coastline in Porto Selvaggio, a fantastic area located on the Ionian side of Salento near the Santa Caterina marina in Nardò. We are in the province of Lecce and this corner of Apulia, which offers emotions that go beyond a simple day at the beach or the usual holiday, is home to the Grotta Verde (Green Cave) among the many caves in this area. This is a sea cavity of rare beauty both for the variety of colours that its interior offers (hence the name Grotta Verde) and for its evocative location surrounded by a clear blue sea. The water maintains an unusual freshness that is a unique pleasure for the body in the height of summer, and this is due to the various freshwater currents present in this area. The seabed is also ideal for those who love snorkelling, so that they can discover the most hidden inlets, capturing in a sequence of emotions the particular plays of light that are reproduced between the cracks of these broad reefs. The Green Grotto can therefore be reached by sea, either by swimming or by means of small canoes, and from its interior one can admire the whole spectacle of an eternal fascination that lasts through time. An unusual silence that is charged with emotion characterises the Green Grotto, and looking around it is an immense pleasure to note the different shades of colour ranging from the grey of the limestone rocks to the green reflected by the contrast produced by the effect of the sea. From the perspective of the sea, one can also admire the marvellous view of the entire bay of Porto Selvaggio with its large pine forest mingling with the typical Mediterranean scrub and the vast cliffs above. Emotions to be retained and preserved in the book of the most precious memories here in Porto Selvaggio, have a good summer at Grotta Verde.
