Very close to the cave of poetry but accessible in summer and free, thanks to the previous comments! We went directly, parking in front of the archaeological park, we walk a little on the cliff admiring the view of the remains! The bathing area is frequented by Italians and accessible by stairs, the water is very clear and you bathe in the remains in an almost basin, surrounded by cliffs! Little ones jump from a big stone and brave teenagers jump off the cliffs further. Our son was discussed with teenagers to see where to jump, be careful, the bottom is not immensely deep! Great swim! New non bathers admire the view from above!👌❤️

Lovely area for pictures. I think the non payed area is even more beautiful than the payd area (grotto del poesia). Def recommended to visit!

Jumping off cliffs and snorkeling is great here. Wear water shoes for the rocks. Parking lot across the street 👍🏻

Tourist trap - avoid! We came here expecting to see the beautiful photos brought to life, however, we’ve been left very disappointed.
Firstly, you have to pay for parking then pay an entrance fee (€3 each). There are no visits, explanation boards etc. so you leave without learning anything about the site!
Secondly, the site was PACKED. This was on a Thursday evening in September so I cannot imagine the crowds during summer... People are standing around in bunches watching the odd few people jump into the “pool”. It’s not relaxing or enjoyable. There were also a group of locals who seemed to take over the main jumping spots so tourists don’t get much of a chance..
Waste of a journey coming here sadly. I hope this is helpful to others.

A relaxing walk through the ruins was nice. You will need closed toed shoes for this walk as the rocks are sharp and uneven. It took us about an hour at a leisurely pace.

Left abandoned. The good side is that walking beside the area you can reach the coast side and the Roca, nice spot with much less people to enjoy the sun and a good swim!

All the way to the Grotto, people were swimming in the sea by the rocks. Beautiful little caves and obviously crystal clear water. Peaceful place and free, no need for sunbeds although a couple of folks had set up their umbrellas in the rocks. No toilets.

Very old settelment from the 4th century B.C. on the coast. Visiting of the archeological aerea with wall, necropole and houses in the cliffs. Beautiful place for swimming and jumping into the sea.

The caves that the seaside carved here in rocks are something unique and so is the color of the water. Worth a visit!

Just not my cup of tea. Having to queue and hang around and pay for the privilege.Too many coaches and on a moody weather day not much to see. It's probably beautiful on a sunny day but just not that day!
