Among the most striking attractions are the famous<strong data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"421\"> Alghero Caves<\/strong>, true natural jewels that open along the coast of the Porto Conte Regional Natural Park. The most famous is undoubtedly <strong data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"578\">Neptune&#8217;s Grotto<\/strong>, but this year it&#8217;s also possible to visit the evocative <strong data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"654\">Green Grotto<\/strong>, recently reopened to the public.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"694\" data-end=\"999\">If you&#8217;re wondering <strong data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"755\">how to get to the Alghero Caves<\/strong>, it&#8217;s important to know that for safety reasons, free parking is no longer permitted near the entrances.

Those arriving by land, however, will need to climb the evocative <strong>Escala del Cabirol: 654 steps overlooking the sea.<\/strong>   <\/p>\n<p>Please note: sea transport is not available for those wishing to visit the Green Grotto.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1032\">Local public transport<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1238\">The<strong data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1055\"> ARST 9321 bus line<\/strong>, operating year-round, connects Alghero with Capo Caccia, where the caves are located.
