About
This tour takes in the southeastern corner of the Salento peninsula, visiting two of its (and Puglia's) architectural masterpieces. We'll visit Lecce and Otranto, while also enjoying a beautiful coastal drive and panoramic views.
Lecce is Puglia’s most beautiful town, a sandstone masterpiece of Baroque and Rococo styles that has no rival in the rest of southern Italy.
The recently restored Basilica di Santa Croce boasts one of the most ornate facades of any building in the south while the entire historic center is an elegant, pedestrianized delight.
Countless churches, balconies, and palazzi outdo one another in splendid fashion while the city’s Duomo and 4 city gates are also always worth a visit.
Otranto is a small, walled fishing village about 40 minutes from Lecce that sits right on the Adriatic sea. Its seafront esplanade (with a very good city beach) provides gorgeous views over the calm turquoise sea. The town’s cathedral has an ornate rose window, a beautiful crypt, and a nave containing the relics of some of the 800 residents martyred during a 15 century Ottoman invasion.
Nearby, the coastal road between Otranto and Santa Maria di Leuca is one of Italy’s most stunning seaside drives.
