Salento: this peninsula, extending southeast between the Ionic and Adriatic, contains landscapes considered to be among the most beautiful in Apulia, South Italy.

It includes the area of Lecce and part of Brindisi and Taranto provinces.
The peninsula is also known as Terra d'Otranto.

Descending from Lecce, we find gorgeous locales such as the Orso Tower, Otranto, Santa Cesarea, Castro, and on the extreme point of Salento, Marina di Leuca.

On the Ionic sea, the coast is lower, and has sandy sections, but allows some lovely views of the Natural Park of Porto Selvaggio.
Here the coast is denser with beach concessions and developments, sometimes to the point of chaotic overcrowding.
The areas with best tourist facilities are Torre San Giovanni, Gallipoli and Porto Cesareo.

Come to this wonderful region with crystal-clear sea, unpolluted nature, superb architecture, delicious food, “appellation controlée” oil and wine.

Salento is a land to discover, is the taste of our unique coffe with a typical "pasticciotto" or "rustico", is the smell of the sea in winter, is the white sky in summer, is the labirynth of hundreds of towns and villages.
