Full description
Port cities are always more beautiful when viewed from the sea. And if they also have a castle reflected in the water, their beauty is enhanced even further. How about discovering the charm of Brindisi from the sea?
Climb aboard a gozzo and enjoy a one-hour trip around the town’s bay, from the Castello Svevo to the Pedagne Islands archipelago.
You’ll disembark with plenty of lovely photos to take home as a memento of your holiday in Puglia!
What we will do
We’ll meet at the small harbour in Brindisi, where the crew will be waiting for us. We’ll board the gozzo and , once everyone has settled on board, we’ll be ready to set sail.
We’ll head straight for the Castello Alfonsino, next to the Forte a Mare, and then make our way towards the Sailor’s Monument. This will give us the chance to admire the monument in all its grandeur: a huge rudder, standing a full 53 metres tall, which towers over the city’s harbour to commemorate those lost at sea.
But our tour doesn’t end there, as the dinghy will also take us past Brindisi’s most important fortress: the Castello Svevo, also known as the ‘Castello di Terra’ to distinguish it from the one by the sea (Castello Alfonsino) .
Leaving the city behind us, we’ll head out to the open sea to reach the Pedagne Islands, a small archipelago comprising six islets that literally embrace the bay.
Finally, we’ll return to the starting point. There are no planned stops for swimming. The excursion lasts approximately one hour.
