Interesting history….

 

The scenery is spellbinding, a pleasure for the eyes as well.

The outside pool is spectacular too. Picture: Silvia Marchetti

Cave men were the first inhabitants of this spa. Greca found bits of skeletons and artefacts in the ground. Centuries later, the ancient Romans colonised the isle and used these grottos also as holy sites for human and animal sacrifices. Here, Christian martyrs were sacrificed to pagan gods but now you get to indulge in a detox heaven. And don’t feel guilty about it.

 

Local fishermen in the 1700s then turned the grottos into family dwellings and storerooms for their boats and nets. The caves fell into oblivion for centuries, but today thanks to Greca’s knack for speleology they’re among the top local attractions. Romantic cocktail evenings are organised inside the spa, which is open even at night. So you’ll still be able to peek at the sky and catch a falling star or two through the open hole niches.
