Puglia: Summer in Salento | Italy Series

The past year‘s lockdowns and ever changing restrictions call for a well-deserved weeklong summer vacation by the sea.

Puglia region in southern Italy is number one in the list, it‘s actually last year’s plan and now it‘s has finally happened.

We chose Otranto as our base city as offers a quiet romantic atmosphere. Young and energetic best describe the beautiful port city of Gallipoli. The crystal clear waters and powdery sands of Pescoluse beach in Salve is dubbed as the Maldives of Salento is clearly the highlight of this trip: we NEEDED to visit this beach twice! Lecce is Salento‘s most populated city known for its baroque architecture which sets its old city center’s streets as Instagram-worthy. Another gem, alongside Pescoluse beach, is Torre Mozza‘s beach.

Along the way, we learned that Otranto, Gallipoli, Salve, Lecce and Torre Mozza belongs to the Province of Lecce within the Salento Peninsula (Salento Historical Region) which is the southernmost part of the Region of Puglia.

Ultimately, we had our taste of Summer in Salento.

PS: Rimini is our chosen stop-over from Munich since it is an established summer destination in central Italy.
