Marine protected area of Capo Caccia - Isola Piana

The protected area spans 26.31 square kilometers along the coastline, featuring limestone cliffs, clear waters, and the island of Isola Piana.

The Marine Protected Area received its official designation in 2002 under the supervision of Italy's Ministry of Environment and Territory Protection.

The region contains multiple archaeological sites and ancient caves, including the Grotta Verde with traces of human presence from seven thousand years ago.

Visitors need permits for specific activities such as diving, snorkeling, or accessing certain caves, with restrictions varying according to protection zones.

The Grotta di Nereo, Europe's largest underwater cavern, extends through multiple tunnels and chambers from 32 meters depth to a 15-meter exit point.
