Looking for clear sea, a small, quiet harbour and a piece of ancient history a few minutes from Santa Maria di Leuca? This guide takes you to Marina di San Gregorio, the seaside village of Pat\u00f9 also known as Torre San Gregorio, on the Ionian coast of the Capo di Leuca: swimming from the rocks, the remains of the Messapian harbour of Vereto that you can see with a mask, the pebble bay, the sunset over the little harbour and everything there is to see nearby, with practical tips and local curiosities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In short<\/h2>

Marina di San Gregorio, or Torre San Gregorio, is the seaside village of Pat\u00f9 (Lecce) on the Ionian coast of the Capo di Leuca, 5 km from Santa Maria di Leuca. It is a small village of holiday homes around a cove with a little jetty, on a coast of low rocks that are easy to reach, with a short stretch of sand and pebbles and, next to it, a wilder bay of large pebbles. This was the harbour of the Messapian city of Vereto: its breakwater can still be seen underwater. The best months are June and September.<\/p><\/blockquote>

What is Marina di San Gregorio?<\/h2>

Marina di San Gregorio is a seaside hamlet of Pat\u00f9, on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast, between Torre Vado to the west and Marina di Felloniche to the east, on the coast road that leads to Santa Maria di Leuca. It takes its name from a sixteenth-century watchtower that no longer exists. It is a secluded spot, with deep-blue sea, ideal for snorkelling and diving, and with the remains of a landing place used for more than two thousand years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

San Gregorio is a handful of white houses, little villas and dry-stone walls looking out over a small cove, at the far southern end of the Ionian coast. In the 2001 census it had 129 inhabitants; in summer the holiday homes fill up, but the village stays a quiet place. Behind it the countryside is dotted with pajare, the farmers\u2019 dry-stone buildings, along the road that climbs towards the hill of Vereto.<\/p>

This is not the place for long sandy beaches: here you swim from the low rocks around the jetty or from the stones of the bay next door, in crystal-clear water where the remains of the ancient harbour turn every swim with a mask into a small exploration. This is the Salento for those who love swimming, looking at the seabed and enjoying the sunset in peace. In this guide you will find how to get there, where to swim, what to see and how to plan your day, nearby too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
