Experience recommended by SalentoBike
Boat trip to the caves of Castro
Two or three hours along the Castro coast, slipping into the rhythm of the sea.

What you do
In Castro, you only really understand the coast from the water. You get on board, leave the harbour behind and follow the rock as it drops into the sea, stopping in front of the caves that open along the shore.
The trip lasts two to three hours. There is nothing to do but look, take photos and let yourself be carried along.
Trips go out between 10 am and 6 pm, and you can book even if you are on your own.
By bike
With that time window, the boat trip fits nicely into a cycling day: ride in the cool of the morning, reach Castro and spend the middle of the day at sea, or do it the other way round and finish the day in the saddle in the late afternoon.
The rental starts from Lecce, San Foca or Calimera, with free pick-up and return, or I bring the bike to your accommodation with a surcharge based on the distance. I prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook, and the bike waits for you on shore, locked with the lock provided.
