Along that evocative stretch of coastline made up of cliffs with such unusual geometric shapes, full of inlets and sea caves, with a clear blue sea as a frame that characterises and makes Santa Cesarea Terme shine brightly, we find Cala Fontanelle. We are in the deep south of the famous Heel of Italy, a land that never ceases to amaze and amaze any traveller who decides to cross the length and breadth of this fascinating territory. Cala Fontanelle is a name like any other, it means nothing and can perhaps be easily forgotten, but this is not the case if you decide to come to this place even if only for a few hours, because at that point you will be swallowed up by the timeless beauty of this characteristic landscape, and then it will be truly difficult to forget the name of Cala Fontanelle. Cala Fontanelle is accessed via stone steps that descend along the cliff and down to the sea, at which point you will be spoilt for choice in finding a place to spread out your towel and relax in the company of the sound of the sea (or rusciu if you prefer, as the people of Salento call it), while the sun slowly begins to pinch you for a perfect tan. The sea soon becomes deep and the seabed is ideal for snorkelling and exploring this beautiful bay. For those who love diving, Cala Fontanelle represents that perfect meeting point, as there are several stations from which to try your hand at the thrill of being suddenly catapulted into these cool waters. The place remains uncrowded even in the height of summer, which makes it perhaps even more fascinating as one can enjoy the surrounding landscape in peace and quiet. Cala Fontanelle is recommended for those who love rocks, relaxation, diving, and a seabed full of life. It is not recommended for those who love the beach and the comforts of an equipped lido, those who prefer music on the beach with group dances, and all those who love crowded places. For the rest, the Salento is beautiful because its coastline and territory offer a wide range of solutions... so have a good holiday at Cala Fontanelle.
