Boat Trip to the Castro Caves & Santa Cesarea Terme

Make your holiday in Salento unforgettable with our boat trip to the caves of Castro and Santa Cesarea Terme! You can discover every nook and cranny of this impressive coast and dive directly from our boat into the crystal-clear waters of Salento.

We will depart from the old port of Castro and head for the beautiful Grotta Palombara and Grotta Azzurra. You will then be impressed by the Grotta Zinzulusa, which owes its name to the stalactites on its ceiling. These seem to hang like rags, called "zinzuli" in the local dialect. We then reach the beautiful inlet of Porto Miggiano, where you can dive into the water directly from our boat.

After this refreshing dive, we will re-board and reach Santa Cesarea Terme. This area is known for its sulphurous springs, and we will see one in particular that flows directly into the sea. The coast beyond Santa Cesarea is full of ancient watchtowers, as well as many caves and inlets. After having reached and admired the Male Passo inlet, your captain will choose the best spot to swim one more time before returning to Castro.
