Boat Rental Roca Vecchia and Santa Maria di Leuca: Between History and Natural Pools

Roca Vecchia is a place where myth meets reality. Famous worldwide for the Grotta della Poesia, this karst cave appears as a natural pool of rare beauty, connected to the open sea through underwater tunnels. Its name, from the medieval Greek pòsis (freshwater spring), evokes stories from distant times.

On its walls, you can read the marks of millennia of history: Messapian, Greek, and Latin inscriptions dedicated to the god Thaotor Andirahas, protector of sailors. Visiting Roca means walking through a stratified archaeological area spanning from the Bronze Age to the Renaissance, a treasure that makes the Adriatic coast of Salento unique.


From Roca Vecchia to Capo di Leuca: The Journey Continues

If Roca Vecchia has enchanted you with its excavations and crystal-clear waters, heading south you will reach the peak of coastal beauty: Santa Maria di Leuca. Here, the coastline becomes even more impressive, and the marine caves take center stage.
