Best Travel Ideas: Santa Maria de Leuca

When you went to school and studied Europe in your geography class, did you ever wonder what the place where the Adriatic and Ionian would be like? Or what would be the last town of the heel of the boot that beautiful Italy draws?

Right there that place is called Cabo de Leuca and there in that place is Santa María de Leuca, Beautiful town with such Mediterranean white architecture.

Get on a sailboat right where the two seas meet and visit its famous blue caves that adorn the Adriatic and Ionian coast, and those that only access by water, is a MUST that you can not miss.

Then sail to Salento and the beautiful Greek island called Othoni with its turquoise waters – an excellent combination for sailing in Italy and Greece on the same trip.

And upon return, these must be your mandatory stops:

  • Have an exquisite ice cream at La Dolce Leuca

  • Climb the Stairways that take you to the sanctuary of Our Lady of Finibus Terrae (from the end of the world)
  • Take a look at the imposing lighthouse with an incredible view of the town when the sun goes down

  • Have an aperol at the bar in the port with brusquettes with tapenade or with morón and onion, cheese donuts with rosemary and black olives.
  • Walk along its majestic waterfront and delight in the turquoise blue of the sea
