Looking for clear sea you can reach on foot from the low rocks, a seafront path to cycle along and sunsets that go down over the Ionian Sea every evening? This guide takes you to Posto Rosso and the Alliste coast, on the Ionian side of Salento between Capilungo and Torre San Giovanni: swimming from the rocks, the Baia dei Pinnacoli with its stone stacks, Torre Sinfon\u00f2 and the Baia dei Diavoli, the villages of Alliste and Felline 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>

Posto Rosso, also called Cisternella or Stella Marina, is a small seaside resort and hamlet of Alliste (Lecce), on Salento\u2019s Ionian coast between Capilungo and Torre San Giovanni, 4 km from Torre San Giovanni and 24 km from Gallipoli. It is the last stretch of the Alliste coast, which runs from Capilungo, Pilella and Torre Sinfon\u00f2 to the border with Ugento. The coast is a low rocky shore, easy to walk on, with clean, clear sea, and a seafront path for walkers and cyclists, about 4 km long, links it to Capilungo. The coast faces south-west: in the evening the sun sets over the sea. The best months are June and September.<\/p><\/blockquote>

What is Posto Rosso?<\/h2>

Posto Rosso is a coastal hamlet in the municipality of Alliste, in southern Ionian Salento. It is a place born for holidays that grew mainly from the 1970s onwards, made up of little villas and low houses looking out over the rocks, where you swim from the rock in clear sea. Its stretch of coast, between Torre Sinfon\u00f2 and the border with Torre San Giovanni, is also known as the Baia dei Pinnacoli, after the many small balanced stone stacks that have appeared on the rocks in recent years.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Posto Rosso is a simple place: little white villas, gardens with palm trees, dry-stone walls and the coast road running a few steps from the rocks, alongside a seafront path for walkers and cyclists. In winter it is almost deserted; in summer the houses open up and the coast fills with families on holiday. Behind it begins the Alliste countryside, dotted with caseddhi, the dry-stone farm buildings.<\/p>

This is not the place for long sandy beaches: here you reach the sea from the low rocks, the water is clear and lets you see the rocky seabed, and small inlets open up along the coast. This is the Salento for those who love swimming, walking or cycling by the sea and ending the day with the sunset. 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
