Grotta delle Ninfe, San Calogero
Calabria
Warm sulphur water still trickles from this modest cave above San Calogero, a site associated with healing bathing since Greek and Roman times and named for the nymphs once believed to inhabit it. A short path climbs through olive terraces to the cave mouth, with views back over the Mesima plain.
