Penne Cape

Punta Penne projects into the southern Adriatic just north of Brindisi, on the coast of Apulia. A cove beneath the point offers shelter from winds blowing from the northwest, while the open sea extends toward the opposite Balkan shore. The nearby harbour of Brindisi has long been a departure point for crossings of the Adriatic, and the headland marks part of the coast approached by ships sailing toward that port.
