Puglia is a very popular area for tourists for its sea. Its coast has sandy, pebble beaches and cliffs. There are many very beautiful places, including the southern part of the region called Salento. Yesterday we decided to spend a day in Santa Cesarea Terme, a seaside resort that is located almost at the tip of Puglia and here the coast is particularly characterized by high cliffs, where direct access points to the sea have been made much easier. .
The most beautiful feature of the city is the natural landscape but above all the sea, its waters are clear to the point of being able to observe the bottom with sharpness even at a sustained depth, without the need to use masks or immerse yourself on the seabed. There is a large platform used by bathers both as a relaxation point and as a diving board.
It is a convenient access point to the sea when the sea is calm, while it is certainly not very usable when the sea is particularly rough, the waves would easily wet people and objects that are above it. Santa Cesarea Terme is one of the most popular tourist destinations, the photos of the sea essentially explain why. The water is also fresh and there is nothing more beautiful than diving into it, after having warmed up. At this time of the year, the city is definitely overcrowded, so even the accesses to the sea are restricted.
However, there are some less crowded streets that take bathers to neighboring areas, wherever you happen to see the sea, you will always be enchanted by its beauty. The more isolated the area, the better the quality of the environment.
There are some organized boat tours, the duration is a few hours, lunch included on board. The boat takes tourists to areas that are difficult to access from the land, incredible caves where you can also dive and relax a bit. Unfortunately this time we don't have much time, but it certainly is an interesting experience to try.
It is impossible to spend a day in these waters and not fall in love with nature. The sea is certainly the main attraction, the main reason for tourism. But the context in which we find ourselves, the still uncontaminated nature, observe the cliffs that look like huge mountains from the sea.
The day in Santa Cesarea Terme passed very quickly, we leave a beautiful memory that we will certainly return to enjoy in the future. Meanwhile, I leave you some photos that describe the earthly paradise in which we find ourselves.
Travel is the real goal of our life.
