Leuca Boat Tour : 4 Hours Exploring the Wonders of Leuca

When Charlie from our team booked the Leuca Boat Tour, we got the whole 23-footer to ourselves — just four hours of nosing around the southern tip of Salento where the Adriatic meets the Ionian.

The boat's built for lounging, and they feed you decent snacks and local craft spirits as you float. It's intimate by design — max six guests, but book just two and it's genuinely yours alone.
