Reopened on April 24, 2024, after renovations and refurbishments. There are now separate pedestrian lanes alongside the road. In the evening, the bridge is illuminated with rainbow colors—haha, just kidding 😅—thankfully, they're the colors of the Italian flag 🇮🇹.

The Ciolo bridge is the perfect destination for those who love diving from great heights. The bridge connects the canyon and below is a beach. 40 meters high, there is a breathtaking panorama occasionally interrupted by the "splash" of those who dive. Near the bridge there are many caves including the Ciolo cave. The name “Ciolo” derives from the Salento word “Ciole”, to indicate the numerous magpies that nested along the coast.

The cave of San Pantaleone is a rock crypt located on the eastern side of the Canale dei Fani. It is an ancient place of worship of Byzantine monks, who took refuge in this area in the Middle Ages to escape persecution. The cave is divided into two rooms and has on the right wall of the entrance the remains of a fresco depicting the holy martyr Pantaleone.

In the territory of the Fani, a very suggestive area between the hinterland and the sea, we find a cave ... the Grotta delle Fate. It was first explored in the 1960s by the "Pasquale de Lorentiis" speleological group from Maglie. It is part of an underground system that connects a narrow branch of tunnels, on whose walls there are ancient graffiti, and environments that are difficult to visit due to the landslides that occurred over the centuries.

The name Ciolo derives from the Salento word "Giolo" or thieving magpie, this is because the area is rich in nests of this species. The beautiful cove is cut by the homonymous bridge which stands 40 meters high. Over the years the bridge has been a destination for intrepid divers but, given the danger, this practice has recently been banned. You can still enjoy the sea by accessing it from the cove below and, for those who do not want to give up a bit of adventure, dive from the surrounding rocks.

Reaching the caves is simple: at a certain point on the path you will find yourself at an intersection, where a sign indicates the narrow branches that deviate from the main path to reach the first cave. The path to get to the caves is steep and downhill, so it is better to lean on the wooden protections that accompany the path. At this point you will reach the entrance to the caves: huge and incredible natural cavities, made of friable and porous stone, which contain a piece of human history inside. In fact, there are many traces left by our ancestors, including pebbles with particular engravings and with an unknown meaning.

It is a country route that starts right from the rocks overlooking the Ciolo, a town famous for the bridge of the same name. In the stretch that surrounds the path, three of these caves are called 'Cipolliane Caves', the cavities created in the friable and porous stone of the area can be reached via narrow branches that wind from the main path.

People according in declare it as the most magical seaside place in Salento. The bridge overlooking the area, about 40 meters high, was built on a deep and splendid ravine, naturally created by the erosive action of water on its way to the sea. Among the rocks grow important specimens of flora of the Mediterranean scrub, such as the cornflower of Leuca and the wild orchid. Since October 2006, Ciolo has been included in the Coastal Natural Park of 'Santa Maria di Leuca - Bosco di Tricase' and represents a spectacular corner of Salento with clear and blue-greee waters.

Wonderful place where to dive in!
