The panorama from here is truly breathtaking, on one side it opens up to the Ionian towards Calabria on the other you look at the bay of Santa Maria di Leuca, the imposing lighthouse and the Adriatic Sea. It is said that this is where the two seas meet. The rocks of this promontory hide two secrets: an imposing natural cave, called Grotta del Diavolo, and an underground bunker or casemate with a very special charm.
Punta Ristola is the southernmost point of Puglia. This cave is defined by legend as the Gate of Hell. Tradition has it that it was crossed by Telemachus to enter the Kingdom of Hell in search of Father Ulysses.
