Riserva Naturale Le Cesine
Puglia
Managed as a WWF oasis, this reserve combines freshwater marshes, Mediterranean scrub, and a stretch of undeveloped beach, making it one of Salento's richest spots for birdwatching, particularly during spring and autumn migration. Ancient references suggest the marshes have drawn wildfowl since Roman times.
