Grotta del Bue Marino
Puglia
This cave on the Tremiti archipelago takes its name from the Mediterranean monk seal, once a familiar sight along these shores before hunting and disturbance drove it locally extinct in the 20th century. Boat tours still pass through the cave's blue-lit chamber, one of several worth exploring around the islands.
