Suggested Itinerary

Created especially for your group of eight writers, this private full-day ride offers a more personal exploration of Salento through places rich in local history, traditions, architecture, and atmosphere.

Your private driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Lecce before heading toward 1Martignano – Parco delle Pozzelle. Discover an unusual part of Salento’s rural heritage before continuing through the landscapes and small communities of Grecìa Salentina.

At 2Calimera, experience a village where the area's Greek cultural roots remain an important part of its identity. Continue to 3Corigliano d’Otranto, where the historic center, castle, stone buildings, and quiet streets provide plenty of character and inspiration to discover.

The journey then leads to 4Galatina, one of the cultural highlights of the day. Wander through its beautiful historic streets, discover its artistic and architectural heritage, and enjoy some free time for independent exploration or a relaxed local meal.

Continue toward the Adriatic and 5Otranto, experiencing the contrast between Salento’s inland villages and one of its most evocative coastal towns. Explore the old town, cathedral surroundings, and seafront while taking in the atmosphere of this historic Mediterranean crossroads.

Throughout the day, the itinerary remains flexible, allowing your group to spend more time in the places, stories, and surroundings that particularly capture your interest. Your driver can share local insights and recommendations along the way, creating a journey focused not simply on visiting the villages, but on experiencing the landscapes, heritage, and character of Salento.

At the end of the experience, your driver will return you comfortably to Lecce.
