The entire coastal village of Santa Maria di Leuca, between the two promontories, is characterized by beautiful villas, authentic jewels of liberty architecture that stand out the dozens of villas that characterize the coast.
The Monumental Waterfall of Santa Maria di Leuca is the end of the Apulian aqueduct and is entirely carved into the rock.
The Santa Maria di Leuca Lighthouse, located on Punta Meliso about 4 km from Gagliano del Capo, is an icon of Salento. Standing at 47 metres (102 m above sea level), it is one of the tallest lighthouses in Europe.

It is the southernmost point, along with Punta Ristola, Salento and Puglia, which fascinates millions of tourists every year: it is the resort Punta Meliso, which marks the borders of Santa Maria di Leuca and the meeting point of the two seas: the Ionian and the Adriatic.

The tour was so relaxing, educational and beautiful all at once! I went with my husband, my brother and my father - and it met all our expectations. The skipper was knowledgeable and very personable; we stopped in two different spots to swim & he never rushed us. And the apperitivo was a nice touch! The boat was also spacious but not too crowded with a perfect mix of seating under the shade, or to lie out on the deck!
Grazie mille per le belle parole! Sapere che il tour ha soddisfatto le vostre aspettative è per noi la soddisfazione più grande. Grazie ☀️🌊
Wonderful trip! Afternoon with calm sea and full sun, Mino's welcome and entertainment were special, a sunny, nice person with a big heart! The caves, the swim, and the sunset with an aperitif! I would do it a thousand times again ❤️
Grazie per aver scelto di vivere questa esperienza con noi. Sapere che porterete con voi un bel ricordo della giornata è la soddisfazione più grande! 🌊❤️
We spent a beautiful and very relaxing day. There was a calm and pleasant atmosphere on board. Riccardo welcomed us with an excellent Salento-style aperitif and took us to the most beautiful bays for swimming. He was always kind, helpful, and attentive to making sure we were comfortable. You can tell he loves what he does and that makes the experience even better. We had so much fun and can only recommend it to everyone. Thanks again, Riccardo! If we return to Salento, we will definitely go on another trip with you.

Had the best boat day! Was very relaxing, nice small group with room on the boat. Learned lots and had time to swim in two different spots. The captain was great, I was by myself and he was very nice and welcoming and didn’t mind taking a bunch of photos for me!

We loved our excursion Captain Mino was fantastic It’s a must-do if you are in the area!
Grazie di cuore per le vostre belle parole! Siamo davvero felici che abbiate adorato l’escursione e che la vostra esperienza sia stata così positiva 😍
a truly one-of-a-kind experience! I had never done anything like this before and I was truly impressed by the beauty of the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca. This experience allows you to visit them one by one and, in some cases, also allows you to swim near them, with the possibility of swimming inside to visit them. Mino's kindness, friendliness, and charm made the experience even more fun and unforgettable. A reliable, friendly, and very knowledgeable person, as well as passionate about his work. The aperitif on the boat near the caves was the icing on the cake that helped make the day unforgettable. Recommended!
Grazie di cuore per questa splendida recensione! Sapere che l’escursione vi abbia emozionato e che abbiate apprezzato la bellezza delle grotte, il bagno e l’aperitivo a bordo ci rende davvero felici. Speriamo di accogliervi nuovamente per un’altra giornata speciale in mare! 🌊☀️
Great experience! The boat was great, small. The guide gave us great information and flexibility on where to stop. I really recommend you! Thanks again for the experience
Grazie a voi 😍
Excellent tour and the skipper, Nino, was very skilled and knowledgeable!
Grazie di cuore ❤️
It was a nice experience; we were able to admire several caves from the boat. There was the opportunity to swim in crystal-clear waters, and to finish, a small aperitif with local specialties was offered.
Grazie mille è stato un piacere avervi a bordo 😍
