Holiday apartment in Marina Di Novaglie between rocks and sea

Holiday apartment in Marina Di Novaglie between rocks and sea

Marina di Novaglie is a small landing place carved into the rock. The sea becomes deep quickly off Marina di Novaglie; this contrasts with the shallower water along the rocky coast. For your travel planning, this results in a distinct coastal character shaped by rocks, open sea, and shallower sections.

Grotta Azzurra and the shape of the bay

Grotta Azzurra lies a few dozen metres from Punta Rossa; Punta Rossa closes off the bay to the north. This means that the cave entrance and the northern end of the bay are closely connected spatially within the coastal area.

Coastal paths with specific destinations

The Sentiero del Porto is a coastal hiking trail in Marina di Novaglie, in the municipality of Alessano. It runs along the rocky coast around the small marina and leads back via natural-stone steps to Via Amerigo Vespucci. The path thus connects the coastline, marina, and a return route.

The Sentiero Grotta Azzurra is also a short hiking trail in Marina di Novaglie, in the municipality of Alessano. It leads from Marina di Novaglie along the coast to the upper area of the entrance to Grotta Azzurra. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Marina Di Novaglie, you can take these different trail destinations into account when planning your trip.

Hiking routes in the trail network and nature park

The Sentiero Tratturo di Novaglie, a short connecting path, is also part of the trail network around Marina di Novaglie. The Ciolo and Grotte Cipolliane hiking route begins in Marina di Novaglie and opens up areas of the Costa Otranto-Leuca e Bosco di Tricase nature park. Your planning can therefore include both a short connecting path and a hiking route through areas of the nature park as separate trail options.

Torre Novaglie and the old watchtower

At the northern edge of Novaglie, Torre Novaglie is still recognisable on the top of an impressive cliff. By contrast, only an amorphous pile of stones remains of the old watchtower at the southern tip of the small bay of Marina di Novaglie. The two coastal points therefore differ significantly in their current state of preservation.

Monuments, castles, beaches, and cave

Menhir Della Croce, a monument, is located in the immediate surroundings of Novaglie. Scalinata e Cascata Monumentale, also a monument, is likewise located in the surroundings of Novaglie.

In the wider regional surroundings of Novaglie are Castello dei Gallone and Castello dei Trane, both castles. Also located in this wider regional area are Spiaggia Torre Pali, Spiaggia Lido Marini, and Spiaggia di Porto Miggiano, each a beach, as well as Grotta Zinzulusa, a cave.

When choosing your accommodation, you can consider whether the immediate coastal area of Marina di Novaglie or a broader combination of hiking trails, monuments, castles, beaches, and a cave in the wider regional surroundings should be the focus of your trip.
