In Puglia there is a place where the sun shines all year round: Salento. With the charm of art, the excellent Mediterranean cuisine and the dream landscapes that characterize it, Salento includes the part of the Adriatic coast with Santa Cesarea Terme and Otranto, up to the Ionian Sea that reaches Porto Cesareo, Portoselvaggio and Gallipoli.
Here the Middle Ages are colored by the East and ancient nursery rhymes in "griko" resonate in the Grecìa Salentina, so much so that ancient rhythms become contemporary music. This green peninsula between two seas is a magical land in which mysterious dolmens and menhirs show the way, hidden among the olive trees and dry stone walls in the countryside between Giurdignano and Minervino di Lecce, where ancient farms rise today transformed into fascinating accommodation facilities.
Paleochristian churches and underground oil mills are just some of the places not to be missed, like the natural spectacle of the sea caves of Castro and Santa Maria di Leuca. Among the most important cities, however, Lecce is a journey into the Baroque, between churches and palaces embedded in stone, courtyards, secret gardens, with a Roman amphitheater in the heart of the city. And then Brindisi, with its two castles and the panorama of the Regina Margherita seafront. Finally, the Salento cuisine and the excellent local wine will be the best parts of an unforgettable journey, among history, nature and unmistakable flavors.
