The territory of Porto Cesareo is a true coastal jewel, a small peninsula that stretches for about 20 km of coastline bathed by the Ionian Sea. This clear and crystalline sea gives this area a tropical charm, to the point that renowned scholars have called it the "Cesarino archipelago," thanks to its enchanting islets. Originally an ancient fishing village, Porto Cesareo has developed over the centuries around the majestic Cesarea Tower, a fortification commissioned by Emperor Charles V. Today, this location is increasingly asserting itself as a charming seaside destination and cultural center. The natural environment of Porto Cesareo is still well preserved and attracts around 90,000 tourists every year. Many of them are divers, drawn by the wonderful Marine Protected Area. But not only that: even lovers of exotic and fascinating seas find their paradise here, with the whitest dunes, crystal clear waters, and the warm sun of Puglia. Furthermore, Porto Cesareo is located near art cities such as Nardò, Leverano, Veglie, and Copertino.
