SELF DRIVE HOLIDAYS

Gems of Southern Puglia

Price from
€550 per person

Overview

The Salento is Puglia's southernmost tip — and its most distinctive.

The sea here is genuinely extraordinary: the Adriatic to the east, rocky and dramatic; the Ionian to the west, shallow and turquoise in a way that belongs somewhere further south than Italy. Between the two coasts, the baroque towns of the interior — honey-stone, ornate, alive with a nightlife and a food culture that operates entirely on its own terms.

Lecce anchors the itinerary. Everything else radiates from it. We decide what's worth your time and what isn't.
