Coreca Caves

Coreca Caves are two karstic cavities (Grotta du 'Scuru, cb404, and Gruttuni, cb405) located along the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, near Coreca in the municipality of Amantea. The two entrances are very close, about ten yards from each other. Formerly they were at sea level, while today they are about 25m higher, placed on a rock wall and therefore difficult to access. They differ by the width of the entrance, which is wide in the Gruttuni and narrow in the Grutta du 'Scuru, with the consequence that the former is a relatively light cave and the second very dark.
