An overview of the cave system around Marina di Novaglie, separating the marina’s sea caves from the Cipolliane rock shelters in Gagliano del Capo.
The updated guide clearly distinguishes Novaglie’s Grotta del Diavolo from Leuca’s and the Cipolliane Grotta del Presepe from other namesakes farther south.
“Novaglie Caves” is an overview of the coastal cave system, not the name of one cave.
The pin at 39.8613, 18.39171 marks Marina di Novaglie as the starting base.
It is distinct from the cave of the same name at Castro.
The Park has a 351 m Grotta Azzurra Trail, about 10 minutes, classified T-E.
This local cave must not be confused with Santa Maria di Leuca’s Grotta del Diavolo.
