About this site
Punta Meliso lies at the tip of the Salento peninsula near Castrignano del Capo, at the point where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet, marked by the statue known as the Madonna dei Due Mari. This is the southeasternmost extreme of Puglia, close to Santa Maria di Leuca, with limestone cliffs dropping into open water. Divers here have reported combers, painted combers, East Atlantic peacock wrasse, ornate wrasse, Mediterranean damselfish, Mediterranean cardinalfish, tompot blennies, Madeira scorpionfish, and fried egg jellies among the marine life along this stretch of coast.
