Are Aquamarines Worth Much

Castro Marina

Castro there twice: Castro di sopra di sotto and Castro - Castro above and below.
Only strangers call the location at sea level " Castro Marina (Marina Castro also wrote). Locals speak other hand, almost exclusively from Castro above or below Castro, the latter being simply " Porto referred.

is in the small port of Castro, in the southeast of Puglia, it is the whole year to be alive: Small fishing boats that can run exclusively on the weather conditions on the sea in winter determine the image. In summer the small harbor almost bursting at the seams, though some large and many small, modest boats are moored here. Already yesterday announced a list of the quay wall that are awarded for summer 2011 have all berths.

The Marina Castro is also popular for swimming and sunbathing: a good reason to be proud of the achievement of the Castro in Blue Flag, which for good water quality, compliance with environmental regulations and related services available.

Castro Marina in detail




few years ago were Castro Città or above Castro, during archaeological excavations found the remains of a Minerva temple. Since there is now another contender for the title "The first port of the Italian mainland, where Virgil's Aeneas went to the country." Even a sign announces at the port: Castro - "Il Porto di Enea" - for those who should know it.
My personal favorite remains Badisco (more at Badisco - deer, sea urchins and Roman mythology ) - there should also be missing from Virgil described the temple of Minerva, it is perhaps only because we have not accordingly he has sought
;-) My thoughts I would say of course not, according to Castro, but only in Porto Badisco!





Even on a Sunday in winter, one in Castro Porto always busy - with Mediterranean rest, of course, but this goes without saying




Castro Marina late afternoon in January




In the summer the harbor offered daily excursions to the nearby cave Zinzulusa and along the east coast of Salento.

Castro up, or Castro Città, is famous for its intact old town, the Aragonese castle and the magnificent views of the Strait of Otranto worth seeing. Castro below, however, should visit for its beautiful port situated and very good water quality, ideal for a swim in the summer. The best thing for me is and will remain in Castro everyday life: the fishing nets and the numerous small boats at the wharf, the people actively pursue the harbor or enjoy their work in the old town above the sun on the benches of the small piazza. Castro is not a tourist dressed up, but still retains its authenticity - which includes the hordes of tourists in August so far could not wear much.
