What to see in Santa Cesarea and Castro

The perfect destination for those seeking beautiful beaches, tranquillity, historic villages and wellness. Castro and Santa Cesarea overlook the Adriatic with high rocky cliffs, clean waters, caves and sea stacks. You cannot mention Santa Cesarea without its thermal baths — an oasis of wellbeing for body and spirit — in a village also famous for its Art Nouveau architecture and Orient-inspired palaces.

A village of stone-paved lanes, flowered courtyards and Lecce stone, Castro is a delightful medieval town, a beautiful stroll between sea, art and culture. Its waters are a favourite of divers, as the seabeds hide pearls of true beauty.
