വെള്ളി ഗുഹ is located in an area of Cape Palinuro that looks south, called Cala de Lanterna, bounded by പൂണ്ട spartivento and പൂണ്ട mammone. വെള്ളി ഗുഹ takes its name from an intense വെള്ളി നിറം that is reflected on the water. This phenomenon is generated by the mixing of കടൽ വെള്ളം, ശക്തമായ നീല വര്ണ്ണം, with the ജലത്തേക്കാൾ sulphurous വെള്ളം.ഈ അറയിൽ is characterized സത്യത്തിൽ by the presence of at least two Sulphur Springs connected to deep വിള്ളലുകൾ.
