Piscina naturale Baia dei Turchi

Otranto, nascosta nella macchia mediterranea a pochi metri dalla caletta di Toraiello, in zona Santo Stefano, c?è una piscina naturale.

A scoprirla qualche anno fa, grazie alle immagini catturate dalla videocamera del suo drone, è stato il videomaker Roberto Leone, con la collaborazione del collega Marco Spedicato.

La piscina naturale, tecnicamente una dolina, cioè una conca chiusa che può essersi generata con il crollo di una grotta, si trova a poca distanza dalla Baia dei Turchi, nota località balneare del Salento, in Puglia, molto frequentata dai turisti italiani e stranieri. Il luogo è circondato da un arco di pietra che consente di beneficiare di una vista mozzafiato sul Mar Adriatico.

Non è la prima volta che Roberto Leone si trova a fare scoperte simili: nel marzo 2017, infatti, il videomaker girò un filmato sull' isola a forma di cuore a Porto Cesareo.

La scoperta della piscina naturale di Otranto, in Puglia, ha ridestato l'attenzione di cittadini e turisti su questa zona del Sud Italia che è tra le mete più apprezzate del nostro Paese nella stagione estiva:

nell'elenco delle spiagge più belle e sconosciute della Puglia spiccano la spiaggia di Sospetto a Vico del Gargano, la spiaggia del Macello di Bisceglie, Cala della Sanguinara vicino a Vieste, la Fontana delle Rose di Mattinata, la Baia dell'Orte di Otranto, l'isola di San Pietro di Taranto e le spiagge di Melendugno e molte altre.
