Porto Miggiano
⭐ 8.8
Porto Miggiano, the spectacular 100-step cove in Santa Cesarea Terme, set between white cliffs, crystal-clear water, and a very wild atmosphere.
Above the cove, Torre Miggiano dates back to the 16th century: it was used to watch the coast against Saracen raids. The neighboring cliffs hide small caves inhabited since prehistoric times, and the surrounding area supplied the carparo stone used to build the defense towers. To extend your day, the village of Santa Cesarea Terme is known for its hot sulfurous waters, around 30 °C, which spring from caves connected to the sea. Bring sturdy shoes for the walk down the steps.

À PROPOS DE Porto Miggiano
Porto Miggiano is one of the most impressive coves on the Adriatic side of Salento. This small, sheltered bay below Torre Miggiano is known for its descent via the “spiaggia dei 100 gradini”, its limestone cliffs, turquoise water, and a setting that feels almost like a natural pool. It’s a superb spot for the view and photos from above: swimming and access to the foot of the cliff are banned by the Coast Guard (risk of rockfall), still in 2026. ⚠️ Swimming and access to the foot of the cliff are banned by the Coast Guard (risk of rockfalls); the ban is still in force in 2026.
