Hala says
A natural limestone sinkhole full of seawater, ringed by archaeological ruins and Messapian inscriptions. You climb down the rocks and jump in. The water is clear, deep, cold, and connected to the sea through underwater channels. Skip the paid pool next door; the free natural one is the whole reason you came. Go early; after 11 a.m. it gets dangerously crowded.
