Porto Cesareo sits on the Ionian coast of Apulia, where the marine protected area of Porto Cesareo shelters clear shallows, seagrass meadows and a coastline of low rocky points and sandy coves best seen from the water. Cruises and boat days here are about slow time on the sea rather than crowded sightseeing, and you can set your own pace with the Porto Cesareo: License-Free Boat Rental (4h or 1.5h) - Explore the Ionian Coast, which suits both a short outing and a longer run along the coast.
