If throughout the world the name of Capri is linked to the Blue Grotto, one of the unmissable stops for every visitor who lands there, the island, due to its geological characteristics, is full of caves, both along the coastal perimeter and in the interior.

No one had the courage to approach it for some time. Too many mysterious and disturbing stories were told and handed down about that sea cave, opening on the northwestern side of the island. Stories well known to the island notary, Don Giuseppe Pagano, who was strongly intrigued by them.

The dripping has made splendors. Stalactites and stalagmites are composing imaginative and mysterious sets, they form imposing sculptures and they surprise with continuous suggestions all along the way.

The Melandro River flows in its vicinity. The Zachito Caves, in the territory of Caggiano, revealed in the nineteenth century a surprising archaeological treasure.

On the southern slope of the Matese, Cusano Mutri is a magnificent medieval village that has remained almost unchanged over time, with the exception of the 13th century castle of which picturesque ruins remain.
