Starting from Posto Rosso: the sea is right there

A wooden fence, the sound of the waves, the coastline opening up in front of you. Your seaside walk begins with the very first step.

Between scrub and sea

The path runs along the rocky coast, just a few metres from the sea. The scent of Mediterranean scrub and sea fennel, blue as far as the eye can see. Go at sunrise or sunset: the light turns pure gold.

Turquoise coves

The rocks open into small coves of crystal-clear water. Along the path you will find Baia dei Diavoli and La Piscina. Stop and look: the whole Ionian Salento is right here.

A dip from the rocks

Clear water, warm stone under your feet. When the sun warms the rocks, step down gently and let the crystal-clear sea of Salento embrace you: fresh, transparent, all yours.
