Full description

Blue C ave or Zinzulusa Cave?

By taking part in our boat excursion you will visit all the sea caves on the Adriatic coast: in the company of our skipper, you will discover the natural wonders of the Salento and their legends.

A1-hour excursion, sailing in the sea of Apulia!

What we will do

The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Castro Marina, a hamlet of Castro (LE). We will be welcomed by the skipper who will accompany us on this adventure in the sea of Salento!

Once all passengers have been boarded, we will set sail to discover the Adriatic coast. This is studded with sea caves, to which we will sail: we will access with the boat the Grotta degli Innamorati, Grotta delle Gemelle, Grotta Palombara, Grotta Azzurra , and we will pass outside the legendary Grotta della Zinzulusa. The latter takes its name from the dialect term'zinzuli', or the now petrified rags whose history will be revealed to us. One 20-minute bathing stop is planned during the navigation.

We will then return to the meeting point. The experience will last a total of 1 hour.
