Experience recommended by SalentoBike
Kayak tour in the Porto Cesareo Marine Protected Area
A lagoon, a 16th-century tower and a snorkelling stop on Rabbit Island.
What you do
The sea at Porto Cesareo is shallow and clear, and a kayak lets you explore it at your own quiet pace. You paddle through the Marine Protected Area with a qualified environmental guide, setting off from the lagoon.
The first goal is Isola della Chianca and its 16th-century tower. On a calm day you can make out sunken Roman columns beneath you. Then you land on Isola dei Conigli, pull the kayak up on the shore and slip into the water to snorkel.
A single or double kayak, life jacket, dry bag and insurance are included. Food and drinks are not, so bring water and a snack.
By bike
This fits neatly into a cycling holiday on the Ionian side of Salento. Ride into Porto Cesareo, lock the bike with the lock that comes with it and spend a few hours on the water. Your swimsuit and towel fit in the frame bag.
Rentals start from Lecce, San Foca or Calimera with free pick-up and return, or I can deliver the bike to where you are staying for a surcharge based on distance. I will prepare a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook. If you would rather have a pure beach day, you can also do it without the bike.
