Cala Fontanelle
Along that evocative stretch of coastline made of cliffs with such unusual geometric shapes, full of inlets and sea caves, with a clear blue sea as a frame that characterizes and makes Santa Cesarea Terme shine with brilliance, we find Cala Fontanelle. We are in the deep south of the famous Heel of Italy, a land that never ceases to amaze and amaze any traveler who decides to traverse the length and breadth of part of this fascinating territory. Cala Fontanelle is a name like any other, it means nothing and can perhaps be easily forgotten, but it is not so if you decide to come to this place even for a few hours, because at that point you will be engulfed by the timeless beauty of this characteristic landscape, and then it will be really hard to forget the name of Cala Fontanelle. At Cala Fontanelle you enter through stone steps that descend along the cliff and reach down to the sea at which point you will be spoiled for choice to find a place to spread your towel and relax in the company of the sound of the sea (or rusciu if you prefer as the Salentini call it), while the sun slowly begins to pinch you for a perfect tan. The sea soon becomes deep and the seabed is ideal for those who love snorkeling and exploring this wonderful bay. For diving enthusiasts, Cala Fontanelle represents that right meeting point, as there are several stations from which to try your hand at savoring that sizzling thrill of being suddenly catapulted into these very fresh waters. The place remains uncrowded even at the height of summer, which makes it perhaps even more fascinating as you can enjoy the surrounding landscape in peace and quiet. So don"t forget your rock shoes, mask, fins and a full cooler bag as you can"t see the shadow of a kiosk nearby; Cala Fontanelle is recommended for those who love rocks, relaxation, diving and the seabed full of life; not recommended instead for lovers of the beach and the comforts that an equipped lido offers, those who prefer music on the beach with group dances and all those who love crowded places. For the rest, Salento is beautiful because it sweeps with its coasts and its territory through a wide range of solutions ... so have a good vacation at Cala Fontanelle.
