Ideas for Salento

Boating in Salento

Salento, the heel of Italy, has two coasts: sandy bays and low reefs on the Ionian side, cliffs and sea caves on the Adriatic side. Boat days explore the islets off Porto Cesareo and Gallipoli or the caves around Santa Maria di Leuca and Otranto, with long swim stops in very clear water.

Where to go by boat

  • Isola dei Conigli

    Low islet off Porto Cesareo, inside the local marine protected area.

  • Isola di Sant'Andrea

    Flat island with a lighthouse off Gallipoli, ringed by shallow water.

  • Leuca sea caves

    Grottoes along the cliffs either side of Santa Maria di Leuca at Italy's heel.

  • Grotta Zinzulusa

    Large sea cave near Castro on the Adriatic coast, between Otranto and Leuca.

Tip: When the north wind (tramontana) blows, the Ionian side is usually calmer, and with the sirocco the Adriatic side, so choose your coast by the forecast; around Porto Cesareo respect the marine protected area zones.
