Renown as the capital of the baroque style, in the old town you can visit the most important monuments of the city, as well as artisan workshops. You can also have a taste of the typical agricultural products of the Salento region, like the extra-virgin olive oil, local wine, and the typical ‘taralli' (round-shaped bread-sticks).

It is hard to resist the charm of the most oriental Italian city. A visit to Otranto will be like a trip into the history of the Mediterranean Sea. Here you will enjoy its exclusive harbours, admire its gardens and terraces, and learn about the legends and the myth of the Cathedral.

Characterised by an uneven coastline, and by the old town, entirely built on a small island, surrounded by the blue waters of the Ionian Sea, Gallipoli is linked to the mainland by a stone bridge. Its white buildings remind of the near orient, while the tangled maze of alleys, which converge toward the Cathedral and the Chiese delle Confraternite, creating games of light and shadows.
