    Parked near the marina and walk through the marina towards the steps up to the piazza. It was pre Easter weekend weekday so everything was closed and only a few visitors around. Quiet and peaceful we walked through the marina and went up the steps up to the piazza. Very pleasant walk and rewarded with even better views of the sea and the marina.

    You have to take one of the small boats from the port to visit this cave and the nearby caves (you cannot go by yourself unless you are a trained sailor man/woman).
    Don't be scared: to visit this particular cave you have to freedive briefly. It's just a second and anyone can do it!

    Stand on the tip of italys stiletto heel and look out to the beautiful marine sea and horizon. Rocky outcrop easy to reach but stony path a bit tricky in flip flops! Worth a quick stop

    Nice hike from the seafront. The view is beautiful. For history lovers in any case. The area is relaxing and quiet.

    My wife and I stopped here on a day trip tour of the Salento. What a beautiful place. It was incredible to see the place where St Peter first set foot in Europe / Italy. The views are magnificent. We were only here for short while but are already planning a longer, return visit.

    We rented a boat in Leuca and visited a few cave with a friend that knew the area. It was an amazing day and this cave was really special. Definitely a place I would recommend. A great day out.

    Both views, from down the stairway up and from the upper terrace are really fantastic. However, during summer months I suggest climbing up by car due to heat.

    I went by boat and the experience of swimming in the caves is amazing. I believe they can be reach by the road - just be careful when climbing down.

    In Santa Maria di Leuca, we visited the Apulian church in Gothic style, consisting of 3 naves
    In the church, we saw a simple architecture with fine polychrome stained glasses and mosaic floor, recalling the austerity of Roman churches.
