2 Beaches of Posto Rosso - Alliste
Baia dei Diavoli
Salento, Posto Rosso - Alliste: The Bay of Devils is located in Posto Rosso, a tourist resort that is part of the municipality of Alliste in the province of Lecce. Between the red that gives the marina its name and the devils that characterize the bay we find an almost perfect affinity; apart from the various legends that give the name to this wonderful cove we find ourselves in an area characterized by cliffs that fall sheer to the sea, with several points from which to try your hand at diving and a clear blue sea that colors this beautiful bay with turquoise. To find a fitting oxymoron we could say that Devils" Bay is a paradisiacal corner, suitable for those who love snorkeling the mixed seabed between sand and reef lends itself to be visited with all the suggestive play of light that can be seen among the various crevices of the reefs. The sea becomes deep after a few strokes, and being pampered by the gentle, perpetual wave motion is a unique pleasure as well as relaxing. The green of the typical Mediterranean scrub colors much of the surrounding area, and the area is all in all quiet even in high season; rock shoes are recommended and be careful when the sea is particularly rough, for the rest, happy vacations from Baia dei Diavoli.
Posto Rosso
Salento, Posto Rosso - Alliste: Posto Rosso is a small hamlet of the municipality of Alliste in the province of Lecce; located on the coast road that connects Gallipoli to Santa Maria di Leuca Posto Rosso is characterized by its low, easily practicable cliffs that end directly in the sea and a beautiful stretch of coastline bathed by the crystal clear waters of the Ionian Sea. For diving lovers it will not be difficult to locate a spot from which to feel that unique thrill of being projected into the water in a fraction of a second; the whole area of Posto Rosso is filled with tourists and vacationers during the summer season, the seabed is a mix of sand and rocks and lends itself wonderfully to those who love snorkeling so as to go in search of the beautiful play of light that is reflected among the ravines of this stunning coastline. Posto Rosso is also known as Cisternella (small cistern), as along this bay there are several freshwater currents that make the sea, in some places, particularly cold so that it is therefore pleasant to take a swim in the middle of the season to alleviate that sense of discomfort due to the summer heat. Here there is an air of absolute relaxation, many families and tourists looking for an inviting rock where they can spread their towels and enjoy a relaxing day at the beach.Welcome to Salento and greetings from Posto Rosso.
