La Palombara

★★★★☆ (185)

This dive is named after a small inlet south of Otranto harbor, a quiet place where wild pigeons nest. It is also particularly interesting for the presence of amphora remains, a sign of ancient shipwrecks.

In the fall months, encounters with large tuna are frequent as they approach the coast to feed on agullies and small schooling amberjack. Redfish, mullet and bream.
