Giants’ 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

This cave takes its name from local legend, which tells that the remains of the fierce animals slain by Hercules were buried here. Additionally, several bones of non-marine animals have been discovered in this cave, along with ceramics dating back to the Bronze Age (4300-3000 years ago) and a tomb from the early medieval period (9th century AD).
