Porto Badisco is a true pearl of Salento where time and space melt into the universality of history and nature and around its cove you can breathe the scent of the wind, the saltiness, the Mediterranean scrub and essences.
The sea at Porto Badisco can be reached from a small beach and is teeming with sea urchins, which can be enjoyed in the restaurants, which offer an extraordinary viewpoint overlooking the cliffs.
Porto Badisco is a mythological postcard:
According to legend, linked to Virgil's narration, Aeneas landed on its gentle shores on a small boat, together with his father Anchises and his son Ascanius.
In this magical seaside resort in Puglia, known as “Aeneas’ landing place”, you will find the famous Grotta dei Cervi.
The Grotta dei Cervi is an underground complex that hosted the first inhabitants of Salento four thousand years ago.
This underground cave is three kilometers long and contains thousands of graffiti and paintings with a vividness of colors that still amazes us today.
The Deer Cave has been closed to the public since 1970.
