We&#8217;ll reach Leuca, characterized by its<br \/>\n19th-century villas in Greco-Arab style, the &#8220;bagnarole&#8221; (bathing tubs) used by noble women to bathe and<br \/>\nkeep themselves hidden from prying eyes. We&#8217;ll admire the monumental staircase and the lighthouse, the second<br \/>\nlargest in Italy, which dominates the Leuca marina.<br \/>\nThe navigation will continue, arriving at <strong>Punta Meliso<\/strong>, where the Ionian and<br \/>\nAdriatic Seas meet.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>From Punta Meliso,<\/strong> we&#8217;ll begin sailing up the Adriatic Sea, admiring the changing cliffs,<br \/>\nthe color of the sea, and the caves; the landscape will be completely different from that of the Ionian<br \/>\nSea. We&#8217;ll visit the caves: the Terradico Cave, the Verdusella Cave, the Gabbiani Cave, the Soffio Cave, the Vora Cave, and the Mannute complex. We&#8217;ll stop right here at the Soffio Cave<br \/>\nfor our first swim. We&#8217;ll stop in this splendid bay for about 20 minutes,<br \/>\nand those who wish, with the help of the onboard crew, can swim to this wonderful<br \/>\ncave. From the Adriatic Sea, we&#8217;ll return to the Ionian Sea, where we&#8217;ll make a second swim stop in<br \/>\na bay with turquoise water.<br \/>\n<strong>Our aperitif on board will be a must,<\/strong> featuring friselline with tomatoes, capers, and anchovies,<br \/>\nMargherita pizza, rustic Salento focaccia, traditional Salento bread, and fresh seasonal fruit. Drinks offered on board during the aperitif include Coca-Cola, Vecchia Torre Negroamaro ros\u00e9 wine, and Cantina Petrelli Prosecco. <\/p>\n<h3>Commentary throughout the tour will be available in Italian, English, and French (audio), and in German (paper).<br \/>\nThe aperitif will be served with a small plate for each family or group.<br \/>\nGluten-free products are available for the aperitif.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\" data-start=\"74\" data-end=\"103\"><strong data-start=\"74\" data-end=\"103\">EXCURSION \u2013 DURATION 4 HOURS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd <strong data-start=\"104\" data-end=\"117\">Departure:<\/strong> Small port of Torre Vado<br data-start=\"145\" data-end=\"148\">\ud83d\udd60 <strong data-start=\"151\" data-end=\"162\">Hours:<\/strong> 08:45 (si consiglia di presentarsi <strong data-start=\"198\" data-end=\"217\">15 minutes before<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p><em data-start=\"208\" data-end=\"259\">(It is recommended to arrive <strong data-start=\"238\" data-end=\"257\">15 minutes early)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The return is scheduled for 13:00.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"263\" data-end=\"280\">\ud83d\udcb6 <strong data-start=\"266\" data-end=\"278\">Rates:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"376\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"281\" data-end=\"301\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"283\" data-end=\"301\">Adults:<strong data-start=\"291\" data-end=\"299\"> \u20ac40<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"302\" data-end=\"335\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"304\" data-end=\"335\">Children (3-12 years): <strong data-start=\"325\" data-end=\"333\">\u20ac30<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"376\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"338\" data-end=\"376\"><strong data-start=\"338\" data-end=\"348\">Free<\/strong> for children 0 to 3 years<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"378\" data-end=\"446\"><em data-start=\"378\" data-end=\"446\">\u23f3 Times may vary throughout the season.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":65717,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[592],"product_tag":[],"giftcard-category":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-64601","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-guided-tours","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-variable"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/64601","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64601"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=64601"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=64601"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=64601"},{"taxonomy":"giftcard-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/salenthub.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giftcard-category?post=64601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
