We will explore the marine protected area of Porto Cesaereo on board our kayaks. We will move in the calm and transparent waters of the lagoon and reach the Island of Rabbits, with its small beaches in Caribbean colors. Here we will take a short walk to discover the island from a historical and naturalistic point of view and then a stop for swimming, relaxation and snorkeling. We will then reach the tower of Porto Cesareo, a defensive system dating back to the sixteenth century and we will skirt the town's promenade and its beautiful golden beaches. If the sea allows, we will have the opportunity to observe an important site of underwater archaeology: we will observe fascinating Roman columns, lost from a ship during a storm and lying on the sandy bottom of Porto Cesareo since the second century AD.C.

We embark from the "Porto Vecchio" of Santa Maria di Leuca in the direction of the most famous and authentically beautiful caves on the Adriatic side, skirting Punta Meliso which houses the Basilica Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae, the Leuca Lighthouse and the Monumental Staircase and the Ionian, crossing the marina of Leuca enclosed between Punta Meliso and Punta Ristola, the southernmost emerged land of Puglia.

The Porto Selvaggio kayak tour is our most popular tourn, suitable for those who have never been kayaking. During the tour we will show you hidden caves and ravines, all waiting to be explored! We will kayak along the rocky coast overlooking the sea where the Tower of S. Maria dell'Alto stands. We will take advantage of the unique perspective from the sea and the proximity to the coast that only a kayak can offer to visit one of the most beautiful stretches of sea in the Ionian Salento! Along this stretch of coast is the stunning Grotta Verde. If the sea conditions allows it, we will also be able to enter it! Once we arrive at the bay of Porto Selvaggio, we will disembark with the kayaks on a rocky beach. At this point there will be the ritual of the kayak baptism, which consists of a full immersion in the icy waters of the spring. This will be followed by a walk in the pine forest and finally we will dive from the cliff to swim into the Gaia Cave. N.B. The experience is not suitable for people weighing more than 100kg

Lecce is best known for its sumptuous baroque architecture, but the city has an equally rich cuisine worth exploring. Discover both its cultural treasures and gastronomic delights with this tour that combines a guided walk past the Basilica of Santa Croce, the cathedral, and other highlights of the historic center with stops to sample traditional specialties like savory “rustico” and “frisella” pastries, and the sweet custard-filled “pasticciotto”.
