Santa Maria di Leuca is a charming and elegant sea-village placed at the foot of a fertile promontory at the extreme tip of the heel of Italy. Its original name (Leukos) was probably given by Greek sailors, attracted by the beauty of the place and the white colour of its cliffs.
Because of the peculiar sea-front position, the village was exposed to assaults and occupations by invaders and for this reason the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Leuca was protected by enclosing it with imposing walls which gave the façade an uncommon style. The Sanctuary and its square dominate the village and its harbour and there is no better place to watch the sunset, in a stunning scenery where the wide horizon gives the impression that beyond there is only infinity. It's probably for this reason that the Romans called Santa Maria di Leuca De Finibus Terrae.
Very close to the Sanctuary square there is an important element of the unforgettable skyline of Santa Maria di Leuca: the white lighthouse, overlooking the village and its sourroundings with a height of 47 meters.
In Santa Maria di Leuca the charm of the landscape, the mistery of the legend and the elegance of its villas and promenade are merged together to create a fascinating and unique setting; the waters of Santa Maria di Leuca are famous for their intense blue seabeds, the bays of sand and the beautiful little caves along the rocky coast, a paradise for scuba divers, sailors and kite-surfers.
In a few minutes driving, on the Ionian coastline, it is possible to relax on the wonderful sandy beaches of Pescoluse (with its famous Maldive del Salento) and Lido Marini.
