The Caves at Castellana Grotte
The beautiful limestone caves at Castellana Grotte are well worth a visit particularly on a hot day as the cave temperature averages a pleasant 17oC! www.grottedicastellana.it 

Zoo-Safari

We have yet to visit the Zoo Safari at Fasano though friends tell us that their children thoroughly enjoyed it. www.zoosafari.it

Beaches
There are a multitude of excellent beaches in the area, many are privately run “Lidos” where for a small charge you may park all day and use the facilities.  One of the closest to Villa Vesta and one of our favourites is Lido Bosco Verde – it offers parking , sandy beach, bar, wc, showers and an excellent restaurant. www.lidoboscoverde.it
