Embark on a scenic journey along the pristine Adriatic coast, a region of unspoiled natural beauty, where the land is gently protected by low pine forests that stretch down to the sea’s sandy dunes. This area is a paradise for those who enjoy sailing and boating, offering tranquil waters and breathtaking landscapes.
Your adventure begins with a departure from Lecce, heading towards Roca Vecchia, a historical Messapic settlement that dates back to prehistoric times. Here, you’ll have the chance to explore the famous Grotta della Poesia, a stunning natural cave known for its crystal-clear waters and rich cultural significance.
Next, the tour takes you to the beautiful Torre dell’Orso, a captivating location where you’ll witness the iconic Le Due Sorelle (The Two Sisters), two towering sea stacks that are said to be the transformed forms of two sisters, according to ancient local legend. The divine transformation is a fascinating story that adds a touch of mystery to the landscape.
Continuing along the coast, you’ll arrive at Torre S. Andrea, another picturesque spot famous for its impressive sea stacks, shaped and sculpted over centuries by the relentless forces of wind and sea. These natural formations create an extraordinary scene that captivates visitors with their raw beauty.
The final stop on this unforgettable journey brings you to Otranto, one of the most charming seaside resorts in the province. With its crystal-clear waters, ancient history, and stunning coastal views, Otranto offers a perfect place to relax and absorb the beauty of the Adriatic before returning.

Great spot for a swim! We went in late October, so there were only a few tourists. The weather was rainy at first, but we didn’t come all this way just to look at the water. We found a nice, sheltered spot, and as we got changed, the weather improved. Once we hopped in, more people started joining, and soon most of the area was swimming — it was a fun vibe. We even did some cliff jumping — it felt safe, but the tide was low and it wasn’t very deep, so be careful. We also swam through the caves, and the water was crystal clear. Overall, a really great experience!
Beautiful place but such a pity you are not allowed to jump or swim. The entry tickets are €3 per person (cash or card) and there is a parking lot nearby at €1.80 per hour.
Beautiful place to visit and see. No longer able to enter, jump or swim in the cave :-( It's still worth a visit in my humble opinion. There is a security guard sheltering under a rock watching to make sure you do not enter. There were some locals lads jumping off the cliffs into the sea, rather them than me. A cover charge of €3 didn't seem steep, although the carpark was a nightmare to pay for, couldn't get my card to be accepted or cash. I ended up on a parking app and paid €3 for 2 hrs instead of the official €3.60.
Swiming in this cave you will remeber. When tude us cpiming around 19:00 stay off from the tunnel which leads to open sra, undersurface current could easily drsg you inside and then there is no return. You would be dragged to outer open sea and crashed by waves to rocks. It was very windy so watch for hats.
‼️something changed ‼️ we came back after years to visit this wonderful and magic place. Surprise: entrance fee 3€/Pp !! …we got in like in the early afternoon but then, going out at around 6pm, we saw local guys heading for free since the reception closed earlier than 7pm as per information panel🥲 - no matter what: we’ll always come back to see this breathtaking landscape. 🩷 Through this fee they should build a museum in this area very soon🩷
