tower dating back to 1500, in the past used to spot the presence of the Saracens
Punta Ristola is the most south-eastern tip of Italy
Recall the monumental entrance with 3 accesses from which to enjoy the splendid play of light on the blue water. Inside the cave we find a tunnel of about 30 m which takes the name of Grotta 'del Bambino', because inside it was found one of the molars of a child of about 10 years dating back to the Neanderthal era. Here we will stop to take a break for about 30 minutes to swim. After the swim break, you will visit two other caves and then return to the port.

Excellent guide, a beautiful experience to live. Beautiful places, fun, and plenty of relaxation. Congratulations
Fantastic experience! The boat tour was truly beautiful and well organized. Flavio is a very skilled sailor, kind, and always available: he shared many interesting facts with us and allowed us to experience the sea in total safety and relaxation. An experience that I highly recommend to anyone. Thank you, Flavio and Lorenzo! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Grazie mille ,ma hai sbagliato a mettere 4 stelle haha,
What a great trip! 3 hours of sailing along the coast of Santa Maria di Leuca. We had a very nice guide who told us all about the caves and life in the Salento region.
My partner and I went on a hike with Nautica Marilor and we have only positive words for this experience! The trip was pleasant and our guide was knowledgeable, kind, and excellent in explanations. The tour lasted about 3 hours and we had the opportunity to visit the caves of both the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea; towards the end of the tour, it was possible to stop for a swim and enjoy a great and abundant appetizer!
Grazie mille è stato un piacere
I found this tour on Facebook and I couldn't have made a better choice. Both Lorenzo for the information and availability and Flavio as the sailor were outstanding. Flavio clearly has a love for the sea and the place, and he conveyed this love to the whole group. He also has a lot of expertise in his work; it was a relaxing trip that I would definitely repeat.
Magnificent tour with skipper Flavio, who is super professional and very knowledgeable. Invaluable view, swimming in the sea in front of the caves, and a great aperitif with Salento music in the background! Thanks also to Lorenzo for the warm welcome and excellent organization. Recommended experience!
Highly recommended experience; Flavio was magnificent, and he made us spend three dreamlike hours. We will take home a beautiful memory.❤️
We had a wonderful experience! The excursion was very well organized, and everything went smoothly. The guide was friendly, professional, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone. We saw beautiful places, learned interesting information, and had a great time with our family. Thank you for an unforgettable day. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area!
Very cool and relaxed. A perfect boat and a very nice and experienced skipper! The route was also very well chosen and the skipper told us a lot about the caves and the history of this place.
Unforgettable experience, we were in 6 people, the boat driver was very friendly and understanding (as I fear to go boating) and avoided the waves as much as possible. The others went swimming near the coast and offered us an aperitif with wine and snacks
