About the journey:

Delight in a leisurely tour of the charming Santa Maria di Leuca, or simply called Leuca. This petite town at the south-easternmost point of Italy holds significant value due to its symbolic midpoint position between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas.

Throughout the tour, you’ll be privy to sights of the expansive port boasting a grand lighthouse stretching beyond 48 meters in height, one of Italy’s prime features. The tranquil stroll further engulfs you into the historical panorama of the Cristo Re church, numerous 19th-century villas, the Corinthian column, and the Monumental waterfall, the 1939 completion point of the Apulian Aqueduct.

Lastly, we’ll step foot in the 1755-consecrated basilica/sanctuary of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae.
