Day Tour of the Salento Coast
Overview
Board our 9-seater minivan for a tour along the Salento coast, departing at 9:30am from Lecce or from an agreed point in the province.
The first stop is Otranto, where you can walk through the alleys of the historic center, visit the monuments and admire beautiful views of the sea.
Then we stop at the picturesque Cava di Bauxite and Punta Palascia, the easternmost point of Italy, perfect for taking pictures.
We will continue towards the Grotta della Zinzulusa, one of the most fascinating in Salento, which can be visited on foot or by boat (optional). We will then stop at Ponte Ciolo to admire the cliffs overlooking the sea.
In Santa Maria di Leuca, a walk through the streets of the village awaits you, with its lighthouse and relaxed atmosphere.
We close in Gallipoli, with free time to visit the historic center or relax on the beach, before returning to Lecce or to the departure point by 17:30.
A day between nature, culture and breathtaking views in the heart of Salento.
