What to expect

Visit the four most significant towns in Salento: Galatina, Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca, and Gallipoli.

The first stop is Galatina, a real gem of art, history, and traditions. Discover the Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria which features an incredible number of frescoes created by Giotto's disciples. Other monuments to visit are the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, the ancient "courtyard houses" and the buildings situated in the historical center.

You'll then head to Otranto also known as “Porta d’Oriente”. Every corner highlights the passage of different civilizations, including the Romans, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, and the Aragoneses. See the splendid Cathedral, the Church of Saint Peter, the castle, the towers, the mighty Pelasgi bastions, and the walls that surrounded the whole of the ancient city.

The next stop is Santa Maria di Leuca famous for its colorful natural landscape that blends in with its majestic architecture. Located on the Japigo promontory is the Basilica of Santa Maria De Finibus Terrae (at the ends of the earth). From there, you can reach the old port on foot via two ramps of 300 steps each.

The tour continues to Gallipoli, the pearl of Salento. See the old part of the city located on a limestone island connected to the mainland by a 17th-century bridge and stroll through the narrow streets. See the Cathedral dedicated to St. Agatha, the Angevine Castle, and the Greek Fountain.
