Night seawatching in Porto Cesareo

After dark the sea changes its residents. A guide helps you see them up close.

What you do

Everyone knows the sea at Porto Cesareo by day. At night it is a different place. This is a guided evening excursion in its waters, to observe up close the marine life that only shows itself after dark.

You are accompanied by a guide who knows the marine environment well and tells you what you are looking at and where to look. The observation equipment is included, so there is nothing special to bring.

It runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:30pm and lasts about two and a half hours. It is the most unusual way I know to end a summer day.

By bike

Here the bike belongs to the daytime. Ride the self-guided route I prepare for you, with GPX and roadbook, head back, rest, and go seawatching in the evening with nothing else to think about. Pick-up and drop-off are free in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera.

If you prefer, I can bring the bike straight to where you are staying for a fee based on distance, so the day starts and ends there. And on a day off the bike, the excursion works perfectly well on its own.
