As soon as we leave the port of Otranto we will pass the Torre del Serpente, an old oil lighthouse, and then turn into the large Orte Bay which ends at Capo d'Otranto, the easternmost point of Italy.

Continuing we will arrive at the bay of Sant'Emiliano, a name that derives from the tower built on the highest point of the bay, used for sighting the Turks.

Further on we reach Porto Badisco, a small fishing port, famous for the landing place of Aeneas and for the fantastic color of its water; you can see the characteristics of the seabed even at a depth of 10m or more.

Under the Minervino Tower, we will visit the Rose Caves. It is one of the thousands of karst caves in Salento, so named by a team of spereosubs after the discovery of a natural sponge unique in the world with the red color of a rose.

Subsequently we find the Fraula cave, strawberry in Arabic, whose characteristic is that of having fresh water springs. This brings us to Santa Cesara Terme: a wedding favor by the sea! Known for the onion dome of Villa Sticchi, built between 1894 and 1900. We arrive at the famous Miggiano Bay, an enchanting inlet, where we will make our first swim stop.

Continuing navigation we arrive under the city of Castro to visit the Zinzulusa Cave, Blue Cave and Palombara Cave.
