What to expect
Our excursions depart from the harbor of Castro and offer three different experiences along the beautiful coast of Salento: 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: degli Innamorati, Gemelle, Palombara, Azzurra, Zinzulusa, and Romanelli, with a swim break in the Bay of Castro Marina, ideal for swimming or relaxing in the crystal clear water.
The 2-hour tour continues beyond the Castro coastline, also including the Striare Caves, and includes a stop at Porto Miggiano, where you can snorkel, sunbathe, or go diving. The excursion continues along Santa Cesarea Terme, admiring the main monuments from the sea, such as Palazzo Sticchi and the picturesque sulfur caves, before returning to Castro with a second swimming stop.
The 3-hour tour follows the same route as the 2-hour tour, but continues beyond Santa Cesarea Terme to the Luvara inlet, a quiet bay that is perfect for the second swimming stop. Here guests can relax, swim, and enjoy a small aperitif on board, toasting while surrounded by a unique and unspoiled panorama.
All tours offer a complete experience among crystal-clear sea, spectacular caves, and natural and historical beauty, ideal for experiencing the Salento coast from an unforgettable perspective.
