Neptune's Grotto (Grotta di Nettuno)
A popular sightseeing expedition from Alghero is a boat ride to
Neptune's Grotto, an impressive deep marine cave at the bottom of
the sheer cliffs of Capo Caccia. The boat ride takes 45 minutes,
and goes past the pretty Bay of Porto Conte. At the cave visitors
can take a 45-minute tour entering through the long snaking passage
that delves into the rock, to view dramatically-lit and fantastic
stalagmites and stalactites. The cave can also be reached by bus
from the main terminal in Alghero, or by car, which on arrival
necessitates climbing down 650 steps to the cave entrance.

casas de cambios.
