Flying by seaplane over the two seas and the Diapontie Islands

The appointment can be made at the Baia Verde in Gallipoli or the long beach in front of the Alimini Lakes. You have to advance a few metres into the shallow water and then climb into the seats just behind the pilot. And from this blue sheet, you take off aboard the seaplane that flies over the Otranto Channel, or touches down on the Calabrian coast. For the choice of the bay in which to glide, one simply has to agree shortly beforehand with the captain, because this means of transport guarantees almost absolute freedom. The service is provided by the hotels of the Caroli group, namely the Joli Park, the Hotel Terminal, the Bellavista Club and the Villa Meridiana on the seafront in Santa Maria di Leuca. This has retained the maritime-style architecture typical of the town where the Adriatic Sea meets the Ionian Sea and from whose port people sailed on crusades and pilgrimages to the Holy Land after saying a last prayer at the shrine of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae. The seaplane trip must be booked in advance, then its beauty and extraordinariness will make this crossing unforgettable. Also because the archipelago of the Diapontie Islands is really close by.
