A number of places, the coasts above all, are
remarkable landscapes and environments, among them the Alimini Lakes,
on the Adriatic coast, and Porto Selvaggio, on the Ionic coast.
The soil is very fertile, some of the finest olive trees and grapes grow
here, and their products are exported worldwide. Its coasts are varied,
and can be sandy or rocky, but all boast pristine beaches and
crystal-clear waters. Some of the most renowned locations in Salento for
summer holidays (from May/June to September) are: Ostuni, Oria, Ugento,
Manduria, Porto Cesareo, Gallipoli, Torre dell'Orso, Otranto, Santa
Maria di Leuca.
Salento is a peaceful land full of
history and traditions whose strong points are its natural and
architectural beauties, its hospitality, its magic atmosphere, its
several wonders to discover, its warm sun, its blue sky, its crystal sea
and its dreamlike coast.
From the LAKES OF ALIMINI to
OTRANTO, an ancient Salento town of
messapic origin. Visit to the old town within the town walls with
towers, to the seventeenth century cathedral, which still retains
a gothic rose window dating back to 1400 and a baroque portal.
