DOLCE VITA IN PORTO CESAREO - Where the Caribbean lies in Apulia

From our editorial team ^{*currently in Porto Cesareo}

Apulia - Porto Cesareo, on the south-east coast of Italy, is a place that makes Italian dreams come true. Caribbean flair, turquoise-coloured sea and historical treasures can all be found here at once.

Pure beach paradise: extensive sandy beaches, as white as snow, invite you to sunbathe and relax. Togo Bay, Punta Prosciutto and Teranga Bay at Torre Lapillo are just some of the dream beaches that await you here. The crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Taranto are ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Dive into a wonderful underwater world!

Wow!

Porto Cesareo offers a wide range of activities for water sports enthusiasts. Sailing, surfing, kitesurfing - everyone will find the perfect "sport" here, even if it's chilling out in the sun.

Porto Cesareo is more than just a beach holiday. The town looks back on a long history (like every town in Italy on average). The harbour is also worth a detour - picturesque boats, island jutting out of the sea. It looks like something out of a postcard.

There's more than just the beach!

Pure culture: the local museum of marine biology is a must for every nature lover. Learn exciting facts about the underwater world of the Mediterranean. Admire the beautiful statues and frescoes in the small church Chiesetta della Madonna del Perpetuo Soccorso. Or take a selfie with the Statua di Manuela Arcuri on the seafront promenade.

Highlight: The watchtowers: Porto Cesareo's landmarks are the four watchtowers of Cesarea, Lapillo, Chianca and Castiglione. These imposing structures from the 16th century were once used for coastal defence against pirates and Saracens. Today, they are popular vantage points from which you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding area.

Porto Cesareo is a place that enchants and invites you to chill out. Dream beaches, crystal-clear sea, historical treasures and better food than in the Caribbean - bet on it!
