Salento to experience, beyond Borea's doors
Otranto and its surroundings offer history, crystal-clear sea and unspoilt nature: a few ideas to fill the days of your stay.
Old town & Cathedral
The white lanes of the old town are home to the Cathedral, with its famous floor mosaic, and the Church of San Pietro: a walking route through art and Byzantine history.
Aragonese Castle
The fortress overlooking Otranto's harbour, with bastions, moats and a view stretching along the entire coastline: a symbol of the town facing the sea.
Seafront & strolls
The Lungomare degli Eroi and the ancient sea walls make for evening strolls overlooking the harbour, among bars, gelato shops and the sunset over the Adriatic.
Beaches & bays
From Baia dei Turchi to Porto Badisco, from the cliffs of Torre Sant'Andrea to the crystal-clear waters of the Alimini: some of Salento's most beautiful beaches are just a few minutes' drive away.
Punta Palascìa Lighthouse
Italy's easternmost point, where the Ionian and Adriatic seas are said to meet: an ideal destination for a walk among cliffs and Mediterranean scrub.
Nature & outdoor sports
Coastal paths, mountain biking in the pine forest and boat or kayak trips along the coast: the area around Otranto is an invitation to get outdoors.
Salento food & wine
Seafood dishes, orecchiette, local wines and Apulian pastries: Salento is also a treat for food lovers, from the little restaurants of the old town to the masserie (traditional farmhouses) of the Otranto countryside.
Boat trips
Sea caves, coves reachable only by boat and sunsets out at sea: boat trips along the Otranto coast are among our guests' favourite experiences.
