Among the innumerable caves of Santa Maria di Leuca that contribute to draw an evocative stretch of coastline as well as specifying the typicality of the surrounding area, the Cazzafri Caves represent a unique spectacle of their kind; from the Greek Casa di Spuma, perhaps because of the foam produced by the waves breaking against the cliff, this beautiful example of a sea cavity presents itself to our eyes with its three rounded entrance arches, it almost looks like the entrance of a Romanesque church, and can be admired in all its complexity only through the perspective of the sea. Of course, the ideal would be to rent a small boat so as to cross the Cazzafri Caves entirely, which present all their charm through the karst walls rich in stalactites and stalagmites, in a growing sensation of amazement and tranquility at the same time that one breathes from within them. The Cazzafri Caves are located near Punta Meliso, right at the foot of the typical promontory and are a popular tourist attraction during the summer, when many visitors arrive to admire the natural beauty of these rock formations and enjoy a refreshing dip in the clear waters of a crystal blue sea. Leuca is a town that maintains its charm and beauty carved in time, and spending even a few hours admiring the characteristic beauty of this town repays the soul and spirit on the flat, happy vacations from Cazzafri Caves.
