Otranto and Lecce Tour between Beauty and History

Salento, a paradise of caves and crystalline sea, with a white light that envelops every corner in poetry. Not only that: also an open-air museum with churches and baroque palaces next to ancient cities of Magna Graecia. Walk with an expert guide in the historic center of Otranto, the easternmost city in Italy. Visit the Cathedral, with the relics of the 800 Martyrs killed by the Turks in the 15th century and the floor mosaic of Pantaleone, which represents one of the most important and best preserved medieval cycles in Europe. After seeing the Byzantine church of San Pietro and the Aragonese Castle, recharge your batteries with a lunch on a farm, based on typical meat products and vegetables freshly picked from the garden. Continue towards Lecce, the capital of Salento. Immerse yourself along the typical white streets, enclosed by the three ancient gates of access to the city: Porta Rudiae, Porta San Biagio and Porta Napoli. Admire the Basilica of Santa Croce and Piazza Duomo, with buildings carved in yellow limestone that dyes the facades gold. And also the Castello Carlo V, the Roman amphitheater and Piazza Sant'Oronzo. A journey into a labyrinth of history, art and culture, with your eyes filling with wonder at every step.
