Chidro – Primitivo di Manduria

Chidro is a river that flows through volcanic tubes underneath the surface of Masseria Cuturi. It ends its run in an estuary that flows into the Ionic Sea. The encounter of the fresh water and the sea creates a fantastic microenvironment of plants and fish species. Every year this is the favorite destination for hundreds of scuba divers.
