Grotta Palombara near Melilli offers dramatic limestone interiors: stalactites, narrow passages, and occasional blue “hole” light at the cave mouth. Best light is midday to maximize interior contrast; visit weekday mornings for fewer groups. Access is via guided entry—wear sturdy shoes and bring a warm layer; caves can be cool and damp.
