Grotta Azzurra is located in Castro Marina in the province of Lecce. We are in the Lower Salento along that stretch of coast characterized by low cliffs, beautiful inlets and numerous sea cavities that face the Adriatic Sea. Here the water turns out to be deep almost immediately, and for diving enthusiasts looking for adrenaline rushes this place lends itself gladly with several thrill stations. Grotta Azzurra can only be reached by boat so steep and capricious is the cliff that it cannot be accessed by land; this cave owes its name to the wonderful play of light that reflects with the sea so that the waters take on a cobalt blue color, and the glimpse one gets when visiting this beautiful cave is really full of amazing emotions and sensations. Grotta Azzurra is just a few hundred meters from the more famous Grotta Zinzulusa, and can be visited either by renting a local boat or by booking one of the many excursions that are organized in the summer and take advantage of the beauty of these coasts. Little recommended certainly to beach lovers we must however emphasize the charm of these places with the promontories of Castro Alta that can be admired from the sea, with the wind gently caressing our summer desires as at the speed of a few knots we cross this evocative stretch of coast. Salento, like the whole of Puglia, is beautiful also for this reason, because it satisfies every desire and offers the passing visitor corners of paradise to experience and enjoy in the right dimension. Happy vacations from Grotta Azzurra.
