Boat Tour with Lunch in Santa Maria di Leuca

Departure: Santa Maria di Leuca Port

The excursion begins at the harbor, where the boat is ready to set sail and explore the coast. As it leaves the dock, the view of the elegant 19th-century villas and the majestic lighthouse of Leuca accompany the first moments of navigation. The salty air and the sea breeze create the perfect atmosphere to start the journey.

Excursion: Caves of Santa Maria di Leuca

🌊 Exploration of the Ionian Coast

Sailing along the Ionian coast, you’ll reach some of the area’s most captivating caves. The Dragon Cave, with its shape resembling the head of a reptile, and the Three Doors Cave, with natural openings that allow light to filter through, create spectacular scenery. The water here is a clear blue, and the sandy seabed enhances the play of light.

🌿 Exploration of the Adriatic Coast

After exploring the Ionian coast, the journey continues along the Adriatic coast, where the cliffs rise higher, and the caves become deeper. The Breath Cave is one of the most enchanting: entering inside, you’ll observe the effect of the breath of air created by the movement of the waves. The atmosphere is unique, with light reflections dancing on the rocky walls.

Swimming Stops

During the excursion, two stops are planned for a dip in the crystal-clear waters. The first, along the Ionian coast, allows you to swim in a sheltered bay where the sea is calm and transparent. The second, on the Adriatic side, offers the opportunity to dive into deeper waters, for a swimming experience among the rocks and the light play of the caves.

Return to the Port

After the final stop, the boat heads back towards the port of Santa Maria di Leuca. During the return journey, there is still time to enjoy the view and take in the last glimpses of a coast that captivates with its diversity and beauty.
