Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Galatina, un véritable joyau d'art, d'histoire et de traditions. Il est surtout connu pour les fresques grandioses de l'école de Giotto dans la basilique de S. Caterina d'Alessandria, deuxième en Italie pour l'extension picturale seulement à celle de S. Francesco à Assise. D'autres monuments à visiter sont l'église mère des SS. Pierre et Paul et les maisons et bâtiments du centre historique.
Otranto, l'un des plus beaux villages côtiers du Salento. C'est une ville pleine d'histoire et chaque recoin met en évidence le passage de différentes civilisations, dont les Romains, les Byzantins, les Ottomans et les Aragonais. Vous aurez du temps libre pour visiter la splendide cathédrale, la basilique byzantine de San Pietro, le château aragonais, les tours, les imposants remparts pélasges et les murs qui entourent la ville.
Santa Cesarea Terme
castro
Après Otrante, vous arriverez à Santa Maria di Leuca, en longeant la magnifique côte Adriatique, caractérisée par des falaises surplombant la mer, des grottes et des criques au fond rocheux. En chemin, vous admirerez Santa Cesarea Terme, Castro Marina et le Ciolo Fiordo. Santa Maria di Leuca est véritablement le talon de l'Italie, le lieu où la mer Ionienne rencontre la mer Adriatique. De cette pointe des Pouilles, vous admirerez des vues spectaculaires sur le port et la mer, ainsi que sur le sanctuaire de Santa Maria de "Finibus Terrae".
Gallipoli, considérée comme la perle de la mer Ionienne. Cette ville, d'origine grecque, peut être divisée en deux zones: le nouveau village, où les installations touristiques et des bâtiments modernes se distinguent, et la vieille ville, qui est situé sur une petite île reliée au continent par un pont du 17ème siècle.. Vous aurez le temps d'admirer le centre historique, caractérisé par des rues étroites et sinueuses, regorgeant de boutiques d'artisans, d'anciens palais et d'églises baroques. Ne manquez pas la cathédrale de Sant'Agata, le magnifique château angevin, construit au XIIIe siècle, et la fontaine grecque, l'une des plus anciennes d'Italie.

Wonderful way to see the coastal towns of importance along the Salento coast (and the confluence of the Adriatic and Ionian Seas) in a day from Lecce. Not only do you not need a car, Stefano was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastically showed us the key locations, enriching the experience further. Highly recommend!
Stefano was excellent at explaining the history and fun facts about the Salento region in a clear way. He gave us free time at each of the 4 spots - and gave us recommendations too. He was a lovely young man, and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour today! Grazie mille!
We had a nice trip visiting some of the most gorgeous towns in Salento. Our douse Stefano was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. We appreciated his knowledge of all the sites of this beautiful area of Italy
A very packed day, exploring the heel of Puglia region. Our guide was informative and helped us understand the history and highlights of each city. It’s a long day… would recommend that they remove one of the cities from the tour, especially during summer months when it’s very very hot.
This was such a great day! Stefano was incredible. Very friendly (even when keeping our group together was a little like herding cats) and very informative. It was fun getting to know the other couples too! We had so much fun! Btw- Stefano, it took me 3 minutes to write this review, lol!
Our guide Stefano was punctual and very friendly. We got a good overview of the southernmost part of Apulia. On the rather poor roads, a newer vehicle with good suspension would have certainly been more comfortable.
Dear Guest, thank you for sharing your experience and for your kind words about our guide Stefano. We are delighted to know that you appreciated his punctuality, friendliness, and the overview of the beautiful southern part of Puglia. We would like to clarify that the Ford Custom minivan used for your tour was a 2024 model, selected to provide a high standard of comfort and regularly maintained. It is possible that the feeling of reduced comfort was influenced by the condition of some roads in the areas visited, which unfortunately can be uneven in certain sections. Nevertheless, we truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us maintain and continuously improve the quality of our services. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Puglia for another enjoyable journey and to let you discover even more of the beauty of our region. Kind regards The Salento Experience Team
The tour was excellent. The places visited very beautiful and the guide Stefano who directed the vehicle and explained with details about the churches, the history of the places, answered all the questions asked to him, always with sympathy, education, goodwill, cordiality and a lot of knowledge of everything about the cities of the tour. He stopped several times to contemplate beautiful places and take pictures. Anyway, it was an excellent day. We loved the tour.
Stefano was a wonderful guide and driver.
