Private Boat Trip to Salento Caves from Andrano MarinaTake a peaceful 2 or 3 hours boat ride that begins from the strategic point of Andrano Marina and takes you to visit the Salento caves of Romanelli, Striare, Palombara, Azzurra, Rotundella, and Zinzulusa. With room for up to 9 people, our boat provides a peaceful cruise around Salento coast and its wonders. During both tours, we will explore numerous caves, each unique enough to let you engage in a wide range of natural landscapes.

The 2 hours trip includes a refreshing dip in the calm waters of Porto Miggiano Bay, giving you a chance to relax amongst the shore's attractions before returning to Andrano Marina.
