Baia Morrone
A tight cove between two walls, halfway between Mulino d’Acqua and Baia dei Turchi. More enclosed than its neighbour, less crowded.

- Between Mulino d’Acqua and Baia dei Turchi
Green water and a seabed you can see straight away: Jacopo picks it when the Mulino is busy.
Often sheltered from the scirocco — when it blows from the south-east this cove stays calmer than the exposed coast.
A short stop: a jump, a few photos, then on towards Baia dei Turchi.

NORTHNORTH EXTENDEDGrotta Sfondata
In Mulino d’Acqua bay there is a cave with a collapsed roof: from the water you see the hole to the sky and the light pouring in from above.
NORTHNORTH EXTENDEDGrotta delle Conchiglie
Next to Grotta Sfondata, still in Mulino d’Acqua: a wide entrance and an inner tunnel you can swim through, with just enough headroom to breathe.
NORTHNORTH EXTENDEDBaia dei Turchi
A crescent of fine sand in the pine forest, within the Alimini Lakes protected oasis. The name recalls the Ottoman landing of 1480, just before the siege of Otranto.
