Marina Serra is a small natural pearl, a small village in Italy that holds a unique treasure: the Natural Open-Air Pool. Situated in the municipality of Tricase, in the province of Lecce, Marina Serra overlooks the south-eastern side of Salento, where the Ionian Sea meets the Adriatic Sea in a voluptuous embrace of water currents propelled by that faint summer wind that blows relentlessly along these shores. The wide cliffs draw an evocative landscape of small hidden inlets, sea caves and a crystal-clear blue sea to complete the richness of this area. Once you get to Marina Serra, you just have to be lucky to find a parking space. Of course, the difficulty also depends on the time of year, but my advice would be to get there in the early morning; once you have parked your car, equip yourself with rock shoes or trainers, a hat and a beach towel, and drive towards the coast. On your way to the Natural Pool of Marina Serra via a short walk, you cannot fail to come across what is a true spectacle of nature, the Natural Sea Cave. This natural cavity appears to be the work of an expert architect, both for the fascinating play of light that the cave offers from its interior and for the luminous blue reflections that the water offers in a contrast of suggestive and enchanting colours. Needless to emphasise that such a spectacle is completely free of charge, just be careful during the descent if you are not fully trained, but once you reach the bottom you will be as if ravished by time in a unique experience completely isolated from the rest of the world. From the bottom of the cave, the glimpse of the circular entrance lit by the sun"s rays is incredibly attractive and you breathe an air of absolute relaxation and privacy. Beautiful emotions that only the natural sea cave of Marina Serra can convey for a summer as sparkling as the freshness of this clear sea... happy holidays from Salento.
