The Puglia/Molise region
Salento (Salentu in local dialect) is the south-eastern extremity of the Apulia region of Italy. It is a sub-peninsula of the main Italian peninsula, sometimes described as the "heel" of the Italian "boot"and is a rock of limestone dividing the Adriatic Sea from the Ionian Sea.
Salento is a peaceful land full of history and traditions whose strong points are its natural and architectural beauties, its hospitality, its magic atmosphere, its several wonders to discover, its warm sun, its blue sky, its crystal sea and its dreamlike coast.
A number of places, the coasts above all, are remarkable landscapes and environments, among them the Alimini Lakes (2 minutes drive), on the Adriatic coast, and Porto Selvaggio (30 minutes drive), on the Ionic coast. The soil is very fertile, some of the finest olive trees and grapes grow here, and their products are exported worldwide.
Salento's coasts are varied, and can be sandy or rocky, but all boast pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. Some of the most renowned locations in Salento for summer holidays (from May/June to September) are: - Torre dell'Orso - Otranto (10 minutes drive) - Castro (25 minutes drive) - Santa Cesarea Terme (20 minutes drive) - Santa Maria di Leuca (50 minutes drive) - Ugento (40 minutes drive) - Porto Cesareo (40 minutes drive) - Gallipoli (30 minutes drive)
