Otranto, located in the province of Lecce, is a pearl of Salento, characterized by a rich history and an evocative cultural heritage. The city, located at the easternmost point of the Italian peninsula, offers a perfect combination of natural beauty, art and architecture.

Traces of the past, including Turkish influence, can be found in the historic centre of Otranto, a witness to many eras. The Castle (1485-1498), of the Aragonese of Naples, and the Church of San Pietro, expression of the Byzantine tradition, are points of interest. The Annunziata Cathedral, built on the remains of a Roman domus and an early Christian temple, houses a fascinating mosaic floor representing the Tree of Life.

In addition to the monuments, Otranto offers beaches of white sand awarded the Blue Flag, framed by pine forests, giving scenery of unique beauty.

Torre dell'Orso, located near Marina di Melendugno and a short distance from Otranto, is one of the most popular seaside destinations in the area.

Its coastline, just over a kilometre long, enchants with breathtaking landscapes: wide creeks, rocks, white sand and lush vegetation.

Among the main attractions, stand out the "Two sisters", two impressive stacks immersed in the waters in front of the bay, whose charm is surrounded by an ancient legend that turns them into stones for a tragic fate.

But Torre dell'Orso  is not just sea. In the evening, the center comes alive with stalls offering local products and musical evenings on the beach, offering moments of fun and entertainment.

Finally, we cannot fail to mention the exceptional gastronomic and cultural reality of Salento, which completes the experience with typical dishes and centuries-old traditions, leaving an indelible memory in the hearts of those who visit this beautiful land.

Lecce, baroque jewel of Salento, enchants visitors with its cobbled streets, its imposing churches and its richly decorated palaces. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, with its ornate façade, is just one of the many architectural treasures that this city offers.
