The Santa Maria di Leuca Caves are a series of sea caves located along the southern coast of the Salento peninsula in the Italian region of Puglia. These caves have been carved by the waves of the sea over the centuries, creating a fascinating landscape; some of them can only be reached by sea. Among the many caves along the Leuca coast, the Grotta dei Libri stands out for its uniqueness; this particular sea cavity is characterised by its unique natural beauty, with crystal-clear water and strangely shaped rocks. Inside the Grotta dei Libri one can admire the special play of light produced by the sun"s rays penetrating through the openings in the ceiling, creating a magical atmosphere. The clear blue sea completes the landscape setting of this characteristic cave; the seabed rich in marine fauna is ideal for those who love diving, and the unique freshness of these waters is a panacea on hot, sultry summer days. The Santa Maria di Leuca Caves are a very popular tourist destination and are often visited by tourists who want to admire the natural beauty of the Salento coast. The ideal thing would be to hire a small boat to discover the most evocative corners of this characteristic coastline; have a good summer at Santa Maria di Leuca.
