Salento —
Salento is a sun-drenched peninsula at the southern tip of Puglia, where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet in turquoise waters and golden sands. Known as the “heel of Italy’s boot”, the region blends Baroque towns, ancient olive groves and dramatic coastlines with a warm, laid-back spirit. From Lecce’s ornate streets to seafood suppers by the sea, Salento offers a rich mix of culture, flavour and natural beauty, creating an unforgettable escape for travellers seeking both relaxation and discovery.
Must-sees:
- Otranto: A quaint seaside town surrounded by ancient walls, where narrow lanes lead to a cathedral famed for its 12th-century mosaic and vistas across the Adriatic.
- Lecce: Often called the “Florence of the South”, this Baroque gem is filled with ornate churches, palaces and sunlit squares.
- Santa Maria di Leuca: The southernmost tip of Salento, where the Adriatic and Ionian seas meet beneath a striking lighthouse.
- Torre dell’Orso: A picturesque bay with soft sands and crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming, snorkelling or exploring by boat.
Culinary culture:
Salento’s cuisine captures the warmth of the south, where rustic recipes and coastal flavours meet at the table. Orecchiette pasta is a regional staple, often served with simple, flavourful sauces, while dishes such as fave e cicoria (fava beans with chicory) reflect its earthy traditions. The golden rustico leccese makes a savoury snack, and along the coast, freshly grilled fish and shellfish are beloved favourites. Inland, hearty breads, cheeses and rich olive oils abound, while for dessert, the buttery pasticciotto filled with custard is best enjoyed warm with a glass of robust Primitivo or Negroamaro wine.
Dive deeper:
Step beyond Salento’s beaches to wander whitewashed villages like Specchia and Presicce, where quiet lanes glow in the southern sun. In the Porto Selvaggio Nature Reserve, pine-scented trails open onto hidden coves with crystal-clear waters, while nearby vineyards invite you to taste bold Primitivo and Negroamaro wines amid rolling countryside.
Good to know:
Salento uses the euro (EUR) as its currency and is best explored by car, as public transport between smaller towns can be limited. The region enjoys long, hot summers that draw visitors to its beaches and lively towns, while spring and early autumn offer warm seas and a slightly quieter atmosphere.
