Underwater finds and immortal animals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After a few kilometers, following the coast to the tip of the peninsula, few people know that there is a protected marine area just in the famous resort of Porto Cesareo.<\/p>\n

Following the so-called blue paths (ask for the Sentiero Blu) you can discover the coraline formations, the posidonia meadows and the many caves where you might bump into archaeological finds such as the Roman columns just a few meters from the coast.<\/p>\n

In addition to crustaceans and turtles, the queen of this sea is the Turritopsis nutricula, the immortal jellyfish, the only organism that can reverse its biological cycle and never die.<\/p>\n

On the surface, after the succession of well-equipped and chic lids, there is the peace of nature at Torre Squillace and the magnificent Bay of Sant’Isidoro, with hundreds of botanical rarities that slip among the sponge, depressions in the saltwater soils of brackish waters, And the spectacular waters of the Natural Park of Porto selvaggio.<\/p>\n
