Salento, the south-eastern tip of Italy, is surrounded by the Adriatic and Ionian seas. It has a unique charm and offers something for everyone – all year round.
What to do and see
Lecce, Salento’s capital, is a vibrant university city and one of the most beautiful towns of Italy. It is a celebration of Baroque architecture from the breathtaking Piazza Duomo to the magnificent Basilica di Santa Croce.
The Salento offers something for everyone: culture, art, sports, food and wine, simply relax, or a bit of all of the above. The southernmost part of Italy’s heel truly provides something for every taste and desire.
Art, history, and culture
There are many day trips that you can take from Nardò – here are just some of them.
Nardò, Porto Selvaggio nature reserve, and nearby beaches
Nardò is the second largest town in the Salento peninsula. Its Baroque architecture and proximity to beautiful natural landscapes, clear waters and scenic coastline make it the perfect place to stay.
Food and wine
Food and wine in Puglia are simply heavenly. Whether it is the classic “pasticciotto”, which you can only find in this region of Italy, the hand-made orecchiette, or the fresh fish from the Ionian sea – food is an important part of life here. And, of course, the wine: full-bodied reds, refreshing rosatos, and light white wines: the selection is endless.
