Full description
You know that colleague who posts pictures of incredible seas while you are in the office? Here, it's time to become that colleague.
Hop on board in Otranto for a five-hour adventure along the Adriatic coastline. Between dips at the Faraglioni of Sant'Andrea and the beauty of Baia Murrone, you'll be guided by a professional skipper who will take care of everything. And to make sure you don't miss anything, we will serve you a gourmet aperitif with wines and flavours from Salento!
What we will do
The appointment is 15 minutes before the indicated time at the meeting point in Otranto (LE) . Awaiting us will be the skipper who will accompany us on our excursion. After a quick briefing, we will settle comfortably on board, ready to set sail.
We will sail north, admiring the coastline that reveals treasures such as the Mulino d'Acqua and the beautiful Baia Murrone. Our route will take us to the famous Baia dei Turchi and the Alimini lakes, where we will make one of our first swimming stops. We will have snorkelling masks and swimming aids at our disposal to explore the seabed or simply be lulled by the waves.
We will continue sailing towards Specchiolla until we reach the monumental Faraglioni di S. Andrea, rock formations that look like sculptures. We will continue towards Torre dell'Orso and the renowned Roca, famous for its archaeological area overlooking the sea. During the stops, which will last about 30-40 minutes each, we can refresh ourselves with a freshwater shower on board.
To make the experience unforgettable, the skipper will serve an aperitif with typical Salento products (included) . We will be able to taste local delicacies accompanied by native wines or beers and cold drinks, enjoying total relaxation.
Finally, we will return to the starting point admiring Otranto's profile from the sea one last time. The activity will last a total of 5 hours.
