The Grotta dell"Orte is a beautiful sea cave located in the Masseria dell"Orte area south of Otranto, at Baia delle Orte. We are on the south-eastern side of the Salento coast, along a stretch of sea that immediately stands out for its wonderful transparency. This area is characterised by a wide reef that sketches a landscape of rare beauty. The Grotta dell"Orte is one of the many sea cavities along this coastline and can be reached by swimming, or it can be admired in all its complexity by renting a small boat in order to explore the entire stretch of coastline in question, which certainly deserves to be visited in depth. The sea soon becomes deep and the beauty of the seabed offers just the right reasons to put on a mask and explore the most interesting spots. Alternatively, a healthy, regenerating swim will do, after which it is easy to find an inviting spot to spread out your towel and let the warm Salento sun dry you out. The beautiful view of the cliffs covered in the green of the Mediterranean maquis is unparalleled in terms of landscape, here it is a riot of bright colours ranging from the yellow to the limestone white of the surrounding rock to the blue of these cool waters. The Salento remains a magical land that knows how to give huge emotions to those who decide to visit enchanting places like the Grotta dell"Orte... happy holidays.
