The natural cavity features a wide entrance accessible only by water, with rock formations extending from the sea level into the limestone cliffs.

Local records indicate that maritime raiders utilized this secluded inlet during the 16th century as a concealment spot along the Albanian coast.

The cave holds numerous tales passed down through generations of Albanian families about hidden treasures and maritime adventures from past centuries.

Visitors can reach the cave through scheduled boat tours departing from nearby coastal towns between May and September each year.

The cave entrance creates distinct sound effects when waves crash against its walls, producing deep echoes that resonate throughout the chamber.
