Porto Selvaggio, Nardò
Puglia
Porto Selvaggio is a regional nature park of maritime pine forest above a rocky Ionian coastline south of Nardò. The sea here is remarkable — deep blue-green clarity that rivals the Sicilian coast. No beach facilities, no bars, no development — a rare pristine stretch on an otherwise busy Salento coast.
