DAY 1: IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE HISTORY OF LECCE
We begin our Apulian weekend exploring Lecce with a personalized tour and a specialized tour guide. A fascinating tour through the history of Lecce from the earliest Messapian and Roman times to the splendors of the city in the Renaissance and Baroque eras. Our professional guide will introduce you to the history of the architectural splendor of the Baroque buildings. In the afternoon and in your free time, we recommend orecchiette pasta with turnip tops, strictly handmade according to tradition, as well as Bari-style rice with mussels and potatoes or fried panzerotti.
Free lunch and dinner. Overnight stay on request.
DAY 2: EXCURSION TO THE IONIAN COAST OF SALENTO
For your weekend away from home, we have come up with a different itinerary: for the second day, we will stop in Salento.
The Ionian coast is characterized by cliffs and stretches of sand, red earth, and vineyards, interrupted by 16th-century towers and equipped beaches. The first stop is Porto Cesareo, a fishing village with white beaches and small islands. The tour continues to the Natural Park of Portoselvaggio, with the Grotta del Capelvenere, the Grotta di Uluzzo, and finally Gallipoli.
Our weekend has already come to an end, but we invite you to join us on another of our multi-day tours of Italy!
