Pretty poetic for a pit

Taking a bird's-eye view along the coast of Italy's bootheel, 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 so named for the ancient poets who—legend has it—were bemused 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.

很有诗意

沿着意大利鞋跟海岸鸟瞰，你会发现许多像这样的海湾和洞穴，Grotta della Poesia。在英语中，那是诗的洞穴，一个被海水淹没的大坑，以古代诗人的名字命名，传说是因为一位美丽的公主经常来这里泡个澡。

如今，无论皇室地位如何，这里都是所有爱水人士的热门去处。在深坑内，一个地下洞穴将清澈的海水带到大海中，吸引着最勇敢的游泳者和潜水者朝着开阔的亚得里亚海前进。
