The sea caves of Leuca are a complex of karstic caves located along the Salento coast in the southernmost part of Apulia, in the province of Lecce. These caves are famous for their beauty and uniqueness, thanks to the spectacular rock formations and rich marine fauna that inhabit them. The caves of Leuca were formed by the action of the sea on the limestone, creating a series of underwater caverns, ravines and tunnels. Many of these caves are only accessible from the sea, and their exploration is only possible by boat or dinghy. Among the most famous caves in Leuca, the Caverna delle Ossa, located on the promontory of Punta Ristola, is a typical example of a sea cavity. Circular in shape, this suggestive cave is only accessible from the sea, and fossils of various animal species have been found inside. The sea reflects a crystal-clear blue and soon becomes deep; the rich seabed is ideal for those who love snorkelling or for a simple regenerating swim. The ideal thing would be to rent a small boat so that you can explore the various ravines along this stretch of coastline and discover the most interesting coves in this way. Many greetings from the Caverna delle Ossa in Santa Maria di Leuca.
