What you can expect

  • We will set sail from the harbour of Castro Marina and immediately immerse ourselves in the magic of the Salento coast, discovering up close the Palombara Grotto and the Rotundella Grotto, carved into the limestone rock over millennia of history.
    We will continue towards the Blue Grotto, where the water changes colour — from deep blue to emerald green — depending on the light filtering through the opening, and then towards the famous Zinzulusa Grotto, with its unmistakable stalactites hanging from the ceiling like ancient stone guardians.
    The tour continues with a stop at the mysterious Grotta delle Striare, steeped in legend and local history.
    We will then reach the splendid Bay of Porto Miggiano, one of the most beautiful inlets in Salento: here we will stop for about 15 minutes for a well-deserved dip in the crystal-clear waters. Shortly after, we will sail along the coast of Santa Cesarea Terme, where we can admire the majestic Villa Sticchi, a symbol of the city, from the sea.
    We will then head for Castro, relaxing on board while the panorama of the coast accompanies us to the harbour of departure. A 2-hour experience in contact with the sea and the most authentic history of Salento.
