Cave of Vora

The Greek sailors used the term Leukos to refer to the white cliff that gave its name to what we now call Leuca. It would later become Santa Maria di Leuca, probably due to the devotion associated with the Sanctuary of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae, the land marking the boundary of the Roman territories.
In this strip of land, you can admire high and rugged cliffs, small golden bays interrupting the low rocks, and the famous karst caves.

Eastern Coast

Characterized by an opening at the top of the cave (a vora, as it is called) at a height of about 50 meters, this cave is actually composed of two cavities extending over 60 meters inward. Sunlight filters through the opening, creating mesmerizing light effects and an atmosphere reminiscent of a Gothic cathedral.
