We will start from the touristic port of Santa Maria di Leuca and coast along Punta Meliso, where the two seas join. We will see the magnificent Leuca Lighthouse and observe wonderful 19th-century villas built on the coast. Furthermore, we will serve you a light apéritif with drinks and taralli.

Adriatic coastline
The tour begins with a short stop at Grotta Cazzafri with its three magnificent arches, and then continues towards Grotta Terradico, the small Verdusella and Grotta del Soffio where you will be able to feel the breath of the sea. We will then cruise in the direction of the splendid Grotta della Vora, characterized by a hole at the top through which the sun penetrates, creating wonderful light effects. We will make stops for swimming near the entrance of the caves. At this point we will head towards the Ionian Sea, crossing the port of Leuca.

Ionian coastline
The first cave we will find near Punta Ristola is Grotta Porcinara, carved by men in ancient times for the worship of pagan gods, immediately followed by Grotta del Diavolo. The tour continues with the Grotta del Fiume, which has a freshwater spring inside, the wonderful Grotta delle Tre Porte, the Caverna dei Giganti, Grotta della Stalla and the majestic Grotta del Drago. During the trip, we will stop for swimming in the crystal-clear water at the entrance of the caves.

When our tour is over, we will return to the port of Santa Maria di Leuca.
