Hiking tour in Porto Selvaggio park
Pine woods, coastal towers and a freshwater spring that flows into the sea, near Nardò.
What you do
Porto Selvaggio is a park where the woods run right down to the cliffs. You cross it on foot with an environmental guide, in the shade of the pines and among the scents of the Mediterranean scrub.
As you walk, the guide tells you about the prehistoric settlements and the coastal towers along the shore. You also see something unusual: a freshwater spring that flows straight into the sea. The route takes in the Belvedere Renata Fonte, where the view opens over the bay.
Insurance is included, food and drinks are not. The minimum age is 8.
By bike
A walk in the shade feels good after a few sunny days in the saddle. Ride to the park, lock the bike with the lock provided and give your legs a different kind of workout.
Rentals start from Lecce, San Foca or Calimera with free pick-up and return. If you are staying on the Ionian coast, I can deliver the bike to your accommodation for a surcharge based on distance and plan a self-guided route with GPX and roadbook. The hike also works well on a day without the bike.
