Overview

Our trip will take us in the amazing Otranto seacoast surrounded by a lovely Mediterranean scrubland.

I'll drive you to Otranto, one of the most beautiful coastal villages in Salento, where you can have your independent tour enjoying the ancient city. After that we transfer to the Bauxite Lake and to the Palascia Lighthouse with their breathtaking views.
