Boat Rental Novaglie and Santa Maria di Leuca: The Wild Heart of the Adriatic
For those who love authentic Salento, with deep seas and cliffs plunging into the water, Marina di Novaglie is an unmissable destination. This small hamlet of the Alessano municipality is a jewel carved into the rock, where ancient history still breathes through the “laure basiliane” — caves dug by monks and used over time as shelters for boats — where it is still possible to spot millennial graffiti.
In Novaglie, the coastline is rugged and steep: you won’t find sandy beaches here, but a hug of rocks and an enchanting sea that invites exploration.
Exploring the Novaglie Caves by Sea
Due to the nature of the coastline, renting a boat is the only way to visit the incredible natural sea caves in the area. Departing from Leuca or sailing along this stretch, you can discover:
- Grotta Azzurra: Famous for the magical play of light that makes the water a vivid and almost unreal blue.
- Grotta del Diavolo: A shady and evocative inlet that ends near Punta Rossa.
- Grotte Cipolliane: The most famous complex in the area, of enormous archaeological importance, where Paleolithic artifacts have been found.
