Cipolliane Cave

Highlight • Cave

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.

Ciolo Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Cipolliane Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

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.
