Why go
Use Lecce for an urban starting point, then choose between Otranto and the Adriatic side or the Ionian waters around Porto Cesareo and Gallipoli. The coastline continues toward Santa Maria di Leuca. Salento works best as a regional plan with deliberate town and coast choices.
What to look for
- Lecce and Otranto offer distinct historic-town stops.
- Porto Cesareo lies on Salento's coastal side.
- The coast runs from Gallipoli toward Santa Maria di Leuca.
Useful to know
- Choose a town-and-coast combination rather than trying to cover the peninsula at once.
- Check conditions and access for any specific beach or coastal site you select.
