Full description
In Otranto, the sea is far too beautiful to simply admire from the beach. Climb aboard the dinghy and explore the Salento coastline!
With plenty of opportunities for a dip, hidden coves and picture-postcard views, you’ll reach the stunning Baia Mulino d’Acqua and Grotta Sfondata, before relaxing with an aperitif on board.
The only problem? Having to return to shore when you’d already like to book your next trip!
What we will do
We’ll meet 10 minutes before the time selected when booking in Otranto (LE). Our captain will be waiting for us there, ready to weigh anchor!
We’ll sail past Baia Atlantis, Baia Castellana, Piccola Baia della Staffa, Grotta della Monaca and Baia Imperia. We’ll then stop for a swim at Baia Mulino d’Acqua, a natural paradise famous for its cliffs and sea caves that can be explored by swimming, including the famous Grotta Sfondata, which takes its name from a huge chasm visible in the ceiling.
Once back on board, we’ll enjoy an aperitif featuring local produce, both sweet and savoury, along with water, prosecco, wine, beer and soft drinks. The aperitif and swimming stop will last about 1 hour.
Once we’re back on the move, we’ll arrive at Baia Murrone for another swimming stop and finally, weather and sea conditions permitting, at Baia dei Turchi.
We’ll return to Otranto after a 3-hour excursion.
