Grotta dello Smeraldo
Grotta dello Smeraldo Review
A peculiar green light that casts an eerie emerald glow over impressive formations of stalagmites and stalactites, many of them under water, inspired the name of the Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto). You can park at the signposts for the grotto along the coast road and take an elevator down, or you can drive to Amalfi and take a return trip to the grotto by more romantic means—via boat (€10 return from Amalfi, excluding entrance to grotto).
- Address: Beyond Punta Acquafetente by boat, or off Amalfi Dr., 84010 | Map It
- Phone: 089/871107 Amalfi tourist board
- Cost: €5
- Hours: Apr.--mid-Oct. daily 9--4; mid-Oct.--Mar. daily 9--3. Closed in adverse weather conditions
- Location: Grotta dello Smeraldo
