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 Marina
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.

If you are in Lecce and you want to discover the local area then this trip is a must. Stefano the driver was both friendly and informative. He went out of his way to pick us up close to our accommodation and ensured that drop off and pick up points were close to local attractions. This was greatly appreciated as the temperature was in the high 30’s. The 4 towns we visited were very different and Stefano engaged us with his knowledge of the history of each and the local people. There were lots of photo opportunities and a chance to dip your toes into the soft sandy beaches. He even advised us where to eat and they did not disappoint. A truly memorable day. Thank you Stefano.
Fantastic days tour with an excellent, personable guide with great English and fascinating knowledge. This is a relaxing and perfect way to see some of the best sites in Southern Puglia. The restaurant recommendation for lunch was also wonderful. I got to swim in the Adriatic and Ionian sea. We saw beautiful coastal towns and memorable churches snd squares. A highlight of our trip here. Stefano- you are a top guide!

Excellent way to see the entire southern area of Salento. Four main stops with plenty of time to get a feel for each area. Some in our group even had a chance to swim in both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas! Our driver and guide Stefano was fabulous! Full of information and great personality as well. One thing I really appreciated was he pointed out about three different place to get lunch, and then just left everyone to make their own decision. Been on too many tours where they funnel everyone into a designated place. This was so much better. I would highly recommend this tour if you have just a short time in Lecce and would like to see more of the region. Thanks again to Stefano!
This was a great way to see the entirety of the Salento region. The stops were very interesting and well timed - a full day trip but with 4 main city stops and a couple picture spots as well. Stefano was an amazing guide, providing lots of information about each city. You could see how proud he is of the place he has grown up in. Thanks again to Stefano and I would highly recommend this tour.
The tour was excellent. Stefano was an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable in local history and culture and very personable.
This is the best tour we have ever done! Stephano is an incredible guide who has so much knowledge of the history of Salento region and Lecce. Definitely recommend.
Stunning day in every way! Our guide, Stefano, gave us great commentary and information about the sights we were seeing. All the stops were excellent and Stefano’s lunch recommendation at Leuca was perfect. We opted for a private tour for the two of us and were able to tailor make our stops for an Aperol Spritz or two along the way. This tour was exactly what we wanted to see in Puglia as all the coastal towns seem to have their own charm & beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend the Salento Experience with Stefano!
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!
