HEAD OVER HEEL FOR THE PENINSULA SALENTINA. DISCOVER ITALY’S HIDDEN GEM.
The Penisola Salentina, better known as Salento, stretches across Italy’s heel from Brindisi to Taranto and down to Santa Maria di Leuca. The area boasts a Landscape, ranging from the Adriatic Coast to the golden Beaches Ionian Sea. A sun-kissed territory all year round, Salento is retaining a flavour of its Greek past. And a Treasure Trove of exquisite Mediterranean Cuisine, unique Art and genuine Hospitality.
Salento Travelers will discover a Countryside dotted with Drystone Walls and century-old Manor Farms (Masserie) often turned into Design Hotels. Besides early Christian Churches they find amazing Sea Caves and underground Olive-Mills. And in the Historic Centers of Cities such as Lecce there are beautiful Palazzi embroidered in stone, alongside Courtyards, Secret Gardens and a stunning Roman Amphitheater.
