Lecce, Italy

3 hours (approximately)

For over 13 years with excursions, boat trips, visits to caves, the coast and the marine territory we are happy to make our customers live real "experiences" in Santa Maria di Leuca and Salento.
We will visit both seas, both Adriatic and Lonio.
During the route there will be a detailed description of the places that will be visited, with historical, geographical and local stories.
On the boat, there will be other guests to share experiences and socialize with.
For safety reasons and according to the new legal provisions, the boats will sail parallel to the coast, maintaining a safe distance and without entering the caves. The inside of the caves will still be clearly visible from the boat.
