About this site
Grotta del Ferraio sits off San Nicola Island in the Tremiti archipelago, a small group of islands in the Adriatic Sea belonging to the Puglia region of southern Italy. The site takes its name from a cave formation along the island's coastline, part of the limestone cliffs that ring San Nicola. Dive operators based on the Tremiti Islands run trips out to the various grottoes and rocky points around San Nicola and the neighboring islands of San Domino and Capraia.
