Apulian Stories - Grotte di Castellana

A short drive inland from the coast near Monopoli are the Grotte di Castellana - the largest grotto system in Italy. It is an amazing underground landscape, 60 m down and full of stalagmites and stalaktites , very well lit and presented and certainly worth a visit, although we were reluctant at first to leave the light and warmth to go underground to a freezing 16 °C. 
Unfortunately, photography was only allowed in the first cave ... hard to understand in the era of social media, why anyone would voluntarily miss out on the free publicity by visitors' pictures.
