The Grotta Funeraria is a characteristic sea cave located in Porto Badisco in the province of Lecce. This evocative cave develops along a beautiful inlet surrounded by cliffs that in some places are coloured by the green of the typical Mediterranean scrub and framed by the wonderful, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. We are on the south-eastern side of Salento, and travelling along the coastline from Santa Cesarea Terme towards Otranto it is not difficult to come across and discover a landscape full of surprises and natural beauty; one of them being the rich cliffs of Porto Badisco, home to the Grotta Funeraria. Well, this corner of land completely forgotten by time encloses a unique beauty and charm. Arriving at this stretch of coastline you immediately feel that sense of light-heartedness and relaxation, essential for spending a relaxing day at the seaside; then all you have to do is choose an inviting rock and relax in the company of the sun, the sea and the wind, contemplating in this way the three maxims of this wonderful land. The seabed lends itself easily to being discovered in all its diversity through mask and flippers, and diving enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a spot from which to enjoy the thrill of being thrown into the water in a fraction of a second, so, what can I say... all in keeping with the canons of a peaceful and relaxing seaside holiday. A lively advice would be to arrive in the early morning hours so as to avoid being bottled up in traffic and risking not finding a parking space, in the vicinity you can easily find some bars or trattorias just in case. The Salento is a land full of surprises that never ceases to amaze, and Porto Badisco and the Grotta Funeraria are clear evidence of this... have a good summer.
