Santa Cesarea Terme is renowned for its thermal springs that flow directly into the sea, creating a unique natural thermal atmosphere. The crystal-clear waters invite swimming and snorkeling. Continuing along the coast, you reach the Grotta Zinzulusa, one of the gems of this coastal stretch. Located near Castro Marina, this cave is famous for its stalactites and stalagmites, creating suggestive and fascinating formations.

The Grotta Zinzulusa is a true natural spectacle, with lights and shadows creating a magical atmosphere. During the summer, guided tours are available, allowing exploration of every corner of this underground wonder.

Finally, Castro Marina, a picturesque seaside village known for its medieval castle perched on top of a hill and enchanting coves. The narrow streets of the historic center directly overlook the sea, creating a charming atmosphere.
