Novaglie Marina

Marina di Novaglie is a small seaside resort on the cliffs, a hamlet of the municipality of Alessano in the deep south of the province of Lecce and is located near Santa Maria di Leuca.

Novaglie is a small pearl set on the splendid coast of Tricase , in lower Salento, and this town can be visited for its cove where you can moor your coffin in the small, characteristic port.

The entire coast is characterized by a cliff interspersed with natural caves and a clear sea, especially for fishing enthusiasts.

Novaglie Bay stands out for its crystal clear waters and seabeds rich in biodiversity, ideal for snorkelling and scuba diving.

There are no beaches in Novaglie: its sea caves are one of the main attractions.

The notable caves are:

the Blue Grotto , famous for its intense colour which recalls the homonymous caves in Capri,

and the Cipolliane Cave , which offers a journey through history with its ancient rock carvings.

Exploring these natural wonders often requires the aid of boats or kayaks, available from many local rental services.

This unique experience allows visitors to discover hidden corners and fully enjoy the wild beauty of the Marina di Novaglie.

Therefore, those visiting Salento should not miss the opportunity to immerse themselves in this spectacular stretch of coastline, which combines adventure and relaxation in a breathtaking setting.
