Grotta dell'olio, Mondello
★★★★★
(500)
On the wall of the Capo Gallo mountain you can see a semi-submerged cave: It opens on a sandy bottom at 6-7 meters and it goes through some more or less narrow passages that create a natural path between the rocks adorned with sponges.
Cave-dwelling species, such as albino sponges, crustaceans and molluscs, find shelter in the crevices of the walls, lobsters, groups of salemas, saddled breams, corvinas and octopus
