Bathed by the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, the south-eastern coast of Salento offers a variety of ideas to the traveller who decides to spend some of his or her time discovering a land to be experienced. Passing through these areas, the impression of the slowness of the passing of time is strong, a sense of tranquillity and relaxation pervades most of our sensations as we touch a landscape made up of small streets and villages that blend in with the surrounding countryside, the dry stone walls that trace most of the country paths and the centuries-old olive trees so twisted in their shape that they represent the emblem of a land that never ceases to amaze. We are in Marina Serra, a district of just 28 inhabitants that falls under the municipality of Tricase, in the province of Lecce; perhaps a name like any other, a small village in Italy, like so many others after all, but if you ask Google for help, the search will produce two words paired with Marina Serra: natural pool. Right at the foot of the 16th-century tower, a perfect combination of history and nature, we find one of the most beautiful and characteristic natural open-air swimming pools in Italy. This small inlet made up of a cliff surrounding a crystal-clear sea is Marina Serra"s pride and joy; the water is so clear and clean that you can look at yourself in the mirror, and letting yourself be massaged by that faint and constant wave motion is a pleasure that cannot be described with mere words. Access to the sea is via a small platform that leads directly into the water. The place is quiet and relaxing even in the height of summer and is frequented by both young people looking for fun and local families. The water has a shallow depth, so let your children play in peace and quiet. The excitement of the Marina Serra Natural Pool goes beyond a simple day at the beach; here the cool waters convey strong emotions in every respect. A small village Marina Serra, a great wealth; so if you are planning your holiday and decide to spend a few days in this area, don"t forget the Marina Serra Natural Pool... enjoy your summer.
