What to expect

This tour will allow you to visit 4 of the most picturesque towns in Salento in a comfortable minivan with air conditioning and a professional driver who will give you information about the history of the towns. A scenic route from the Adriatic to the Ionian Sea, between rocky coasts, small bays and white sandy beaches.

The first stop is Galatina, a real gem of art, history and traditions. Discover the Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and see the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, and the ancient "courtyard houses" and the buildings situated in the center.

You'll then have free time to explore Otranto and see its Cathedral, the Church of Saint Peter in perfect Byzantium style, the Castle, the Towers, the mighty Pelasgi Bastions and the walls that surround the whole of the ancient city.

Your next stop is Santa Maria di Leuca, where the Ionian Sea meets the Adriatic Sea. Along the way, you'll admire Santa Cesarea Terme, Castro Marina and the Ciolo Fiord. From this tip of Puglia, you'll get spectacular views of the harbor and the sea, as well as the sanctuary of Santa Maria de Finibus Terrae.

Finally, you'll reach Gallipoli to experience the two areas of the Greek city: the tourist side with new and modern buildings, and the historic center with its narrow streets, traditional shops, aristocratic palazzi and numerous impressive Baroque churches. Don't miss the chance to see the Greek Fountain, one of the oldest fountains in Italy.
