What you can expect

  • Galatina, Gallipoli and Otranto in one day, departing from Brindisi or Lecce.

    GALATINA
    The old town is home to the Basilica of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, its interior entirely covered in 15th-century frescoes. Galatina is the town where the pasticciotto was born: a custard-filled pastry, the typical sweet of Salento, now found almost everywhere in Puglia. Here you have a tasting of Salento specialities, including pasticciotto and rustico leccese (savoury puff pastry), with a drink of your choice.

    GALLIPOLI
    The old town stands on an island in the Ionian Sea, linked to the mainland by a bridge. Free time in the lanes and along the sea walls. The Purità beach is right next to the old town: if you like, you can also use your free time for a swim.

    OTRANTO
    The easternmost town in Italy, on the Adriatic. In the walled old town, the Cathedral preserves a 12th-century floor mosaic. Free time in the old town.

    There is no tour guide: in all three towns you explore with the audio guide on your phone, in Italian, English, Spanish, French, German and Polish. You receive the link before departure.
