Details

Join us for a boat trip to the Zinzulusa Cave! This impressive cave owes its name to the numerous stalactites hanging from its ceiling. They are somewhat similar to hanging rags, that are called "zinzuli" in the local dialect. We will leave from Castro's Porto Vecchio and head north, sailing along the coast. We will first stop at the Palombara Caves, characterized by a triangular entrance leading to a natural dome. After admiring this incredible rock formation, we will head to the Grotta Azzurra, so-called because of the intense blue of its waters. Our next stop will be the beautiful Zinzulusa Cave, where we will marvel at the countless stalactites. Our local skipper will provide you with lots of facts and trivia about this incredible cave. We will then begin our return journey, but before that, we will enjoy a quick dive directly from the boat into the clear Salento waters!

We booked the excursion thinking it would be on a large boat with lots of people. We were surprised to find it was a very comfortable boat for the four of us, with a very friendly driver-guide who took us through the different caves, giving us complete explanations. The scenery was wonderful, and the blues and greens of the sea were incredible. In short, an extraordinary trip that we highly recommend. Thanks to Náutica Red Coral and many thanks to Luigi for the wonderful service he gave us and how easy it was for us to get on and off the boat.
