Pretty poetic, for a pit
Taking a bird's-eye view along the coast of Italy's ‘boot heel’, you'll spot many coves and caves like this one, the Grotta della Poesia. In English, that's Poetry's Cave, a sea-flooded sinkhole named after the ancient poets who, legend has it, had their heads turned by a beautiful princess who often came here for a dip. Nowadays it's a popular spot for all water lovers, regardless of royal standing. Inside the sinkhole, an underground cavern carries the clear waters out to sea, beckoning the most intrepid swimmers and scuba divers toward the open Adriatic.
