Magna Grecia, Tricase (Lecce) 2023

The Magna Grecia Association, located in Tricase Porto in the province of Lecce, is responsible for keeping the seafaring culture of the Lecce people alive through its cultural center, rediscovering and nurturing the history and nautical activities with historic boats of the ancient port of Tricase.

The same port welcomes the Association's sailing school so that the seafaring culture is not lost, thanks to the expert crews of these historic boats.

On board its sailing boats, Magna Grecia organizes day trips and cruises in the company of the associated expert navigators along the coasts of Salento, where only boats of this size and manageability can approach unspoiled places.

Magna Grecia Vela awaits you at its Latin Sailing School to accompany you on an educational path that combines the learning of techniques with the pleasure of adventure at sea.

The crew of a sailboat is like a small community where respect and collaboration are the key values on which navigation is based.

Sailing is therefore a training experience from many points of view, especially human ones, and those interested in the activities scheduled by the Magna Grecia Vela Association can choose from the following options:

• Educational trips aboard the flagship Portus Veneris
• Latin sailing course
• Theoretical and practical course of knots and ligatures
• Practical rowing course
• Seafood cooking class
• Seawatching and marine biology course for children

Depending on the needs of the participants (both individuals and groups) it is possible to organize tailor-made courses. Magna Grecia Vela also organizes school cruises, aimed at deepening the practice at sea and coexistence in crew.

Magna Grecia Excursion by boat will take you to visit the southern coast of Salento aboard ancient sailing boats, making you discover the beauty of the most hidden coves and caves.

The excursions organized by the Association are unique opportunities to enjoy the sea in the company of expert guides who manage the navigation and will make you discover the most evocative points where you can dive into clear waters and will make you visit the ancient fishing villages.

The boat tours take place in the months from June to September and in favorable sea conditions. Come aboard the wonderful gulet Portus Veneris of Magna Grecia Excursion by boat and let yourself be led to the discovery of the marine landscape beauties of Salento!
