Quite easy access to from a parking. But to great arch cave (or Cave if Saracen) you need to take some small mountain path of 1000m (see photos). You can also access it from north but there there is no easy access from parking. The place for parking - Via Giuseppe Garibaldi 40, 87020 Highly recommend to come here before the season starts . The weather stays nice for long, and to be able to see this beauty without the crowd is so worth it. Trip during the day for the picnic or evening sunset watching - you can't go wrong. Pictures taken mid-April. This place was unreal. The hike from the parking lot was 10-15mins. The water was warm and had cold spots from the tide coming in from sea. No sand on this just pebbles. Bring a blanket and wear shoes for the hike. Very beautiful spot. Alot of steps but worth it to see the natural beauty. water was clear and enjoyable Was unaware that you must buy tickets at the entry before the hike to it. You can only stay 30 minutes, but that's plenty of time for a photo op and a fantastic swim. Then you can hike out and swim on the beaches around the area. It's such a stunning, wonderful place!! Amazing place to visit and swim. Very safe and easy to access. Beautiful way to spend time in Italy. A relatively cheap fare (15 euro) got each person a guided trip around the island with entry into two of the caves and half an hour time in one of the enclaves. The latter makes for great holiday photos, as do the cave entries where you can feed fishes and they will huddle up to the surface in that perfectly clear water. Overall, highly recommended, a shame to miss if in the area. The guide speaks Italian, only Italian, but you can figure things out even without the story and his voice and mannerisms somehow add to the experience. Tickets are purchased on the spot, if the boat is not there at the moment you can wait in the shade or entertain yourself with a drink at the panini bar. We have nearly decided to skip this and this would have been a terrible mistake. is absolutely stunning, one of the best we have ever been to. The views are spectacular and you will definitely have some perfect pictures from your vacation, but besides that the water is excellent - refreshing, not too cold, with occasional cold currents. The walk is a bit of a challenge, but we went with a 6 year old and it was completely manageable. The result is well worth it anyway.
