Punta Ristola
Puglia
Tradition holds that this rocky point marks the exact spot where the Adriatic and Ionian seas converge, and the coastal path along the low cliffs gives clear views in both directions from Italy's heel. Small sea caves and clear water along the base of the cliffs make it a popular swimming stop as well as a viewpoint.
