Welcome to the Emerald Grotto, one of the most enchanting natural treasures of the Amalfi Coast. Located about 10 kilometers from Amalfi, along the coastal road connecting the city to Positano, this grotto is definitely worth a detour.

The Emerald Grotto is renowned for its emerald-green waters, a phenomenon created by sunlight filtering into the grotto and reflecting the green hue of the water. This extraordinary effect gives the grotto an almost magical atmosphere, with walls and limestone formations glowing with a unique brightness.

To reach the grotto, you'll need to drive or take a bus to the Conca dei Marini port. From there, you can board a small boat that will take you to the entrance of the grotto. The boat ride through turquoise waters and rocky formations is already a captivating experience, preparing you for the wonder that awaits inside.

Once inside, you'll be greeted by a natural spectacle of rare beauty. The grotto features a large internal chamber, with walls and ceiling adorned with stalactites and stalagmites. The internal waters, illuminated by light filtering through a small opening in the grotto's roof, create a play of colors ranging from emerald green to deep blue, making the experience even more enchanting.

If you visit the Emerald Grotto on a sunny day, don’t miss the chance to take a boat ride inside the grotto. The view of the rock formations and crystal-clear waters is unparalleled and will leave you speechless.

Even though it is a bit distant from Amalfi, the visit to the Emerald Grotto is an unmissable addition to your trip. The natural beauty and unique charm of this place make the journey absolutely worth it.
