Description
Our excursions depart from the port of Castro and offer three different experiences along the beautiful Salento coast: a 1-hour tour, a 2-hour tour, and a 3-hour tour, designed to meet every need.
During the 1-hour tour, guests sail along the Castro coastline, admiring the most famous caves – Grotta degli Innamorati, Grotta delle Gemelle, Grotta della Palombara, Grotta Azzurra, Grotta di Zinzulusa, and Grotta dei Romanelli – with a swim stop in Castro Marina Bay, which is ideal for swimming or relaxing in the crystal-clear water.
The 2-hour tour continues beyond the Castro coastline, also taking in the Striare Caves, and includes a stop at Porto Miggiano, where guests can snorkel, sunbathe, or go for a swim. The excursion continues along Santa Cesarea Terme, offering views from the sea of the main landmarks, such as Palazzo Sticchi and the picturesque sulfur caves, before returning to Castro with a second stop for swimming.
The 3-hour tour follows the same route as the 2-hour tour, but continues beyond Santa Cesarea Terme to the Luvara cove, a quiet bay that is perfect for a second swimming stop. Here, guests can relax, swim, and enjoy a small aperitif on board, raising a toast while surrounded by a unique and unspoiled landscape.
All tours offer a comprehensive experience, combining crystal-clear waters, spectacular caves, and natural and historical wonders, providing an unforgettable way to experience the Salento coast.
