Top 10 Caverns & Caves in Sardinia, Italy

April 27, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

The second-largest island in Mediterranean after Sicily, Sardinia serves up a lovely blend of sea, sand and history. Thousands of nuraghe (stone buildings) dot the landscape, proof that people have been enjoying the lovely climate here for millennia. From posh Costa Smerelda in the north to medieval Alghero in the northwest to the lively capital of Cagliari in the south, and with many picturesque towns and unspoiled sandy beaches in between, Sardinia’s got a little something for everyone.

Grotte di Su Mannau

Reviewed By snowmanspike - Munich, Germany

We visited here because of other good reviews and we were not disappointed. A great place to visit to escape the scorching summer heat of Sardinia. The guided tour was only in italian, so we didn't understand anything the guid said. There are audio guides in english, german and other languages which are very informative and highly recommended. Unfortunately being the only non-italian speakers we felt a little excluded because the guide gave much more detailed ( and apparently funny) information to the crowd. It didn't help that the audio guides are quite loud when played. If you don't speak italian, just let the group move on and stay back a little and enjoy the grotto with the audio guides provided. The tour takes about an hour. We had lots of fun and would recommend you visit here!

Grotta del Fico

An incredible journey to the center of the Earth, just a few steps from the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean. Expert guides will lead you along an easy path, to discover the fascinating underground world and tell you the charming stories of this place. In a dreamlike atmosphere, surrounded by lights and shadows, you'll feel the ancient presence of the Monk Seal, there in its last shelter.

The grotto is only accessible by boat. Steep stairs from sea level. After entering the grotto and having paid your fee, you can have a guided tour or have the supplied audio equipment with prerecorded guiding. This prerecording is good and gives you many details about this magnificent grotto, just explored as late as in the sixties. You can easily get around in the grotto, since walking paths and stairs are installed. Beautiful lightening makes the experience unique.

We enjoyed the ferry ride and tour of the Grotto. Tours are in English and Italian. The ferry and tour takes about two hours. I learned the difference between stalactites and stalagmites and enjoyed the otherworldly look of the caves 3 main rooms. It’s an easy walk but no photography and no place to stow bags.
