Porto Ciolo

Puglia

This inlet along the Adriatic side of the Salento peninsula stays relatively low-key compared to the busier towns nearby, its clear rocky-bottomed water a favourite for locals rather than tour groups. Low cliffs and scattered fishing huts give the setting a distinctly unpolished, authentic feel.
