Overview

Discover Santa Maria di Leuca without the hassle of driving with a half-day experience that includes a private door-to-door transfer from your accommodation in Lecce, a shared 1.5-hour cave boat tour, and free time.
Travel to the southernmost tip of Salento, where the Adriatic and Ionian seas are said to meet according to local legend. Reach hidden corners of the coastline that are difficult to access from land, cruising past dramatic cliffs, secluded inlets, and striking sea caves with a local skipper. A swimming stop is included.
After the cruise, walk through its historic area, admire the Faro di Capo Santa Maria di Leuca, browse traditional crafts, or enjoy an aperitif before returning to Lecce.
If you are already staying in Santa Maria di Leuca and do not need a transfer, choose between the 1.5-hour or 3-hour boat tour options. Simply make your own way to the meeting point at Bar del Porto, Via Doppia Croce 63, Santa Maria di Leuca, and join the boat tour from there.
