Full description
Spectacular sea caves, diving from the boat into the blue sea, panoramic views of Santa Cesarea Terme: all this on our gozzo tour departing from Castro.
In just two hours, the skipper will show you some of the most beautiful natural caves along the coast, such as Grotta Palombara, Grotta Azzurra and Grotta della Zinzulusa. You will also take a dip in the pristine waters of Porto Miggiano Bay.
You will take home shots and videos with the magnificent Grotta della Zinzulusa in the background!
What we will do
We will meet at the old port of Casto Marina, where the skipper will be waiting for us. Once all participants have settled aboard the gozzo, we will set off in the direction of the suggestive Castro caves.
First we will visit the Grotta Palombara, one of the most fascinating caves in Salento, and the Grotta Azzurra, inside which there are plays of light that make the water exceptionally blue.
We will then explore the Grotta della Zinzulusa, famous for its stalactites and stalagmites that form spectacular figures, and head towards Santa Cesarea Terme to admire the beautiful town from the perspective of the sea.
Before reversing course to return to Castro Marina, we will stop at the bay of Porto Miggiano for a bathing stop of about 30 minutes. The experience lasts about 2 hours.
Who it is aimed at
The activity is open to all, with no age limit. Children aged 0 to 3 years participate free of charge.
The boat is not wheelchair accessible.
