You will admire enchanting natural bays and rocky coastlines, pass the Grotta della Poesia, Torre dell'Orso and Torre Sant'Andrea, and stop for a swim in the crystal-clear waters.
Observe from the perspective of the sea the marvellous coastal landscapes that characterise this wonderful area of Apulia. What are you waiting for?
What we will do
Departure is from San Foca(LE), one of the Marinas of Melendugno. Once everyone is on board, we will begin our navigation along the Salento coast.
We will pass through the archaeological area of Roca Vecchia and the Grotta della Poesia, a natural open-air swimming pool. During the navigation we will stop at beautiful inlets where it will be possible to swim and admire the beauty of this stretch of coastline.
We will then head towards Torre dell'Orso, where we will be able to admire Le Due Sorelle, two stacks emerging majestically from the sea, Spiaggia dell'Orso, with its fine golden sand and incredibly transparent waters, and the various sea caves, which we will be able to explore by swimming.
Continuing south for two miles, we will find the splendid Torre Sant'Andrea, a place where nature displays its majesty through the famous stacks and enchanting bays.
Finally, we will reach Conca Specchiulla, a hidden gem known for its shallow waters and small secret coves. We will alternate between dives from the boat and moments of relaxation where we can sunbathe, listen to the guide's stories, and enjoy the snacks and drinks we will be offered (included). If we wish, we can also enjoy an aperitif on the boat (selectable when booking).
The excursion lasts approximately 2.5 hours.
