As you cruise around the island of Capri, you’ll come across this enticing white cave that looms at a height of 24 metres high, with a startlingly white colour attributed to the calciferous matter that covers its walls. The white contrasts gorgeously with the impossibly turquoise water that laps at its shores. Sharp stalactites hang from every surface - dripping icicles frozen in time. The cave is made up of two caves, one upper and one lower, which you can float a short distance into at get a closer look of the red barnacle that coat the rocks at the see line. You’ll be able to spy a particularly striking stalactite that is eerily lifelike, similar to the silhouette of a woman, giving it the nickname “Madonna”. The grotto was even said to be the hideout of the notorious Sicilian bandit, Salvatore Giulano, who took refuge within its walls after becoming an outlaw. It’s not hard to believe the story considering the atmosphere of the cave which is steeped in history and legend.
