The Cala di Grotta Monaca is a shallow reef inlet north of Otranto; we are in the province of Lecce along a beautiful stretch of coastline masterfully designed by Mother Nature, with evocative inlets full of caves and bays to visit, alternating with stretches of fine white beach, framed by the contagious blue of the mighty Adriatic Sea. The Cala di Grotta Monaca, the most famous cove in the area for its splendid seabed, rich in life and crystal-clear sea, appears to our eyes as a gem set among the cliffs covered in the green of the typical and spontaneous Mediterranean scrub. On the northern side of this bay, we can admire the Grotta Monaca, a sea cavity formed over time and about 80 metres deep. This cave can be admired directly from the sea in all its beauty although, it must be said, being a rocky and impassable stretch of coastline, access to the sea is not exactly one hundred per cent guaranteed. However, for the most daring, taking the opportunity to dive into these wonderful waters and admire the Grotta Monaca is an experience worth having because it is full of strong emotions. The name Grotta Monaca is said to derive from the fact that once upon a time these waters were inhabited by the monk seal and this would signify the specificity of this clean and transparent sea. Glimpses of a Salento all to be visited and enjoyed, have a good summer from the Grotta Monaca Cove.
