サナーリカの天然記念物・トップ20

A wonderful hike along the sea. The view is breathtaking. Highly recommended. Ideal in the early morning hours when it's not so warm in summer.

A must-see. A magical place.

Porto Badisco is a pretty cove nestled on the coast of the Adriatic about 10 km south of Otranto.

Inserted in the collection https://www.komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - There are two paired dolmens and I don't quite understand why they appear to be under the same name. They are located at the end and on the edge of a private farm, however accessible with due respect towards the property.

The Menhir of Montevergine is yet another example of how pagan elements have managed to mix over the centuries within Christianized places. The monolith, which in the past reached 2 meters or more in height, is in fact located close to the sanctuary of the Madonna di Montevergine, in the exact point where an underground river would flow. The apparition of the Blessed Virgin, which occurred in 1595, created an aura of sacredness and mystery around this place, which is still capable of enchanting many visitors today.

Inserted in the collection https://www.komoot.com/it-it/collection/2431081/-pietre-del-salento - An integral part of the Sanctuary, it is well enhanced by the context and visible without problems. Let's not forget that menhirs are archaic elements that must be observed without touching them. They are the history and heritage of Salento.

Nice hike by the sea
