About this experience

Discover the most iconic locations of Salento in a single day, without worrying about travel. You will travel in a small group of a maximum of 8 participants. The departure is from the historic center of Lecce, in front of the Basilica of Santa Croce, with the possibility of agreeing on an alternative meeting point in the city. You will have free time to explore each location at your own pace: about 1 hour and 30 minutes in Otranto and Gallipoli and about 30 minutes in Castro and Santa Maria di Leuca. The order of the stops and the duration of the breaks may vary depending on the weather and traffic, while keeping all the planned locations. Can add a boat tour to the caves of Santa Maria di Leuca with a supplement, subject to availability and favorable sea conditions. In this case, the stop times will be adapted to the experience.
