Three Doors Cave

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

Among the most famous and photographed, it takes its name from its almost monumental entrance, consisting of three openings. This majestic and spacious cave houses within it the Child’s Cave, a cavern where remains of an elephant and even a rhinoceros were discovered in the past, along with prehistoric tools and a human tooth dating back to the Neanderthal era.
