When you’re vacationing on the Amalfi Coast in Italy, there are several exciting sea excursions you can join, such as trips to the Emerald Caves (Grotta dello Smeraldo) located in the bay of Conca dei Marini, just 5 km from Amalfi. If you’ve never been to Amalfi, this is the perfect opportunity to book a flight and see it for yourself. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Inside the caves, you’ll encounter impressive columns, stalactites, and stalagmites in fascinating shapes. The cave is about 30 cm wide and stretches up to 60 meters in height, reaching 24 meters in some areas. Visitors often describe the experience as feeling like stepping into a grand palace or an oriental temple. The unique and magnificent formations make it feel like you’ve entered a fairytale world full of enchanting creatures and mermaids.

Additionally, in the waters of the cave, there’s an original underwater nativity scene that you can admire on the cave floor. Boat excursions to the Grotta dello Smeraldo are available from various locations along the coast. For instance, boats depart from Amalfi for the cave between 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM. You can also visit the cave by private boat or by land via the SS 163, a scenic road from Salerno to Positano, and then access the cave by stairs or elevator. Enjoy your adventure!
