What To Expect
Faro di Leuca
At Punta Meliso, at the exact point where the Adriatic and Ionian Seas meet, stands one of the most iconic lighthouses in Europe. It is the second tallest lighthouse on the continent, surpassed only by that of the ancient port of Genoa. Designed by engineer Achille Rossi and inaugurated in 1866, it replaced an older structure commissioned by Frederick II of Swabia in the 13th century. Its local stone octagonal tower rises 47 metres above the ground, reaching 102 metres focal height above sea level. The lantern emits intermittent light every 15 seconds, visible for up to 25 nautical miles, red and white beams that for generations have guided sailors returning from Africa and the Middle East to the Italian coast. From the sea, seen from the boat, the lighthouse is an apparition: white, vertical, solitary above the promontory. It is the visual landmark of the entire coast of Leuca.
La Grotta delle Tre Porte
The most famous and photographed of the caves of Leuca. Leuca.info Three large natural arches that open onto the cliff, resting on two pillars, communicating with a single huge internal cavity. Seen from the boat it is a shot in the chest: the white rock splits into three perfect mouths. Inside, the first Neanderthal fossil from Salento was found, the molar of a ten-year-old boy, the southernmost in Italy, along with remains of elephants and rhinos. The inner cave is home to spectacular plays of light and seabed with hedgehogs, starfish and crustaceans. Accessible only by sea.

Wonderful trip!

5.00A wonderful private trip along the coast. Francesco told us fascinating stories about the Salento Peninsula. We stopped for a swim. Francesco prepared the most delicious pizza and treated us to melons from his own garden. He made sure we saw beautiful and interesting places, even those invisible from the boat (like the beach in the cave). He also suggested some beautiful places for us to see on the way back to our accommodation. Thank you, it was a wonderful day! Dorota and family :-)

5.00It was an amazing experience; the Salento coast seen from the sea is something else entirely. We were welcomed and pampered by the skipper, who was very professional. He offered us drinks and excellent focaccia. And to conclude, a homemade limoncello. We will definitely return for another moment of relaxation.
UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE

5.00If you pass through Santa Maria di Leuca, you absolutely must take an excursion with Meraviglia Boats because it was truly an amazing day! Setting off from the port and finding yourself on a boat exactly where the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea embrace is a unique emotion. We explored wonderful caves and swam in coves with water so clear it looked like a swimming pool, all without any rush and in total relaxation. The real added value was the skipper, who was very skilled, super friendly, and very funny; he made us laugh a lot and told us many beautiful stories and tidbits about the coast, making us feel at home from the very first moment. Not to mention the aperitif on board, which ended beautifully with a local liqueur offered by them that was out of this world, fresh and delicious! In short, an impeccable organization and beautiful energy. If you want to experience the sea of Salento with a smile on your face, go for it because it is truly worth it. I will definitely return!

5.00My family and I stayed in Salento, in Tricase. Thanks to an area expert, he recommended a boat trip to Santa Maria di Leuca with Meraviglia Boats. It was a superb experience. The skipper, Francesco, was very kind and friendly, and made us feel at ease. The caves were wonderful and enchanting. We will be back. Robert Williams

5.00We organized an afternoon on this wonderful boat with our group of 8 people to celebrate the bachelor and bachelorette party of a couple of friends. Breathtaking scenery, comfortable boat and suggestive sunset. We were served on board a bottle of bubbles and appetizers to accompany. Donato, the skipper, was very cute and engaging, especially when he started playing guitar dragging all our friends to sing together. We had a great time and it was an experience we will remember. That's great!
