Grotta Sfondata

Otranto

The Grotta Sfondata, so called because the vault above it was completely missing following a collapse, thus producing a particular effect of the cave itself, is located by a beautiful bay, surrounded by unspoilt nature with spontaneous stretches of Mediterranean scrub and indigenous vegetation. We are on the outskirts of Otranto, far from the hustle and bustle that occurs in almost every tourist town in the Salento region every year in the height of the summer season; and this place conveys a sense of absolute relaxation and primitive enjoyment if one takes into account the surrounding environment and the beauty that characterises this corner of paradise. The peculiarity of Grotta Sfondata can be perceived by looking at it from above, perhaps through a drone and photographing that special attraction and charm that is reproduced with this beautiful blue hole represented by the sea surrounded by the green of the surrounding nature. An indescribable spectacle that fills thousands of travellers with emotion every year who, intrigued by this singular natural phenomenon, decide to visit this place; it all takes on the appearance of a large natural open-air swimming pool and the visual impact is guaranteed. This is the Salento, a magical and marvellous land that always reserves hidden surprises, and when one believes or has the presumption to know it in all its complexity, one exclaims, I missed this! Have a good summer from Otranto"s Grotta Sfondata.
