Gallipoli – attractive old town on the peninsula – 40 minutes (42 km)WHAT TO SEE:
The sea outside of Porto Cesareo further up the coast is probably the most beautiful and fantastic sunsets.
A few minutes from Porto Cesareo is Santa Catarina, the St Tropez of Apulia’s, well known also for its many fine villas in the area, some antique.
A little further south of Santa Caterina is the idyllic Santa Maria al Bagno with its sandy beach and many bars and restaurants at the piazza.
Gallipoli is like Polignano a Mare on the Adriatic Sea a town on a peninsular surrounded by water. It is a beautiful walk along the sea front and the old town is full of architectural wonders.

The cost from Santa Maria di Leuca to Gallipoli has many fine sandy beaches. The villages are perhaps not the prettiest but room for the beach life, pizzerias, restaurants and disco music summer time.
Inland SALENTO have a number of historical charming villages with ancient history. The advantage to stay in a village is to be able to socialize with Italian neighbours, to walk to the cafe and buy a newspaper and a cup of coffee in the morning and having all amenities within reach daytime and nighttime. The townhouses often come with a garden and roof terrace. and its fascination to open the simple door from the street – and inside almost like a little palace with a garden!

In Sternatina and Martignano to the south of Lecce, antique Greek is still spoken by the villagers.
Maglie is like a mini Lecce and with many fine buildings. Muro Leccese is smaller and also represent a small town/village with a fine architectural history. Cutrofiano popular for French holiday home ownership. Ruffano has many fine old buildings for sale, waiting to find new owners and to be restored. Surano has a small town center with very nice antique buildings for sale. Spongano again is a small village surrounded by olive groves. Here you can see secluded great villas and country retreats owned by foreigners and families from North Italy who come to relax in rural Salento.
The east coast of Salento is rougher than the south west and for people who enjoy the sea and fishing. Somewhat more elegant than the east coast. Castro is beautiful with its location on top of the cliff by the sea and many villas with direct access to the sea. Santa Cesarea Terme is a spa resort, very popular with a beautiful setting and bay.
