CNA - 5 days: Salento and boat tour desde US$884

Descripción

Salento is not just the sea.

Culture, history, gastronomy are the other elements that complete the splendid setting of the southernmost area of Puglia.

During your journey you will be able to get to know each of these characteristics, diving into the streets of some of the most beautiful cities in Italy.

The enchanting city of Lecce, the provincial capital, owes its beauty to the numerous Baroque-style buildings that dot the historic center. The legend of the foundation of Lecce has it that it was Malennio, a descendant of the mythical king Minos, who founded the city in the 13th century BC. with the name of Sybar and to introduce the refined Greek culture.

History, on the other hand, teaches that the first settlement dates back to the third millennium BC. by the Illyrians, later replaced by the indigenous Messapi. With the conquest of Magna Graecia by the Romans, which took place in the third century BC, the city changed its name to Lupiae and became an important center of southern Italy.

Just 40 kilometers from Lecce, overlooking the Ionian Sea, the "beautiful city" (this is the meaning of its name) of Gallipoli awaits you.

The historic center is located on a limestone island, connected to the new village by a bridge, the construction of which dates back to the seventeenth century. But the reason why Gallipoli is so well known and coveted are its beaches. There is something for all tastes: you can enjoy the golden sand in the wonderful cove of Spiaggia della Puritate, in correspondence with the ancient village, or rocky coves with fresh and clear water, such as those of Punta Prosciutto and Lido delle Conchiglie.

You cannot say that you have visited Salento if you leave without having lived the true experience of oil production. In addition to the production of extra virgin olive oil, Salento has always stood out for the production of lampante oil, that is, what was used to power oil lamps.

Discovering Salento, you will experience a magical and unrepeatable adventure.

DAY 2:

After a hearty breakfast, a licensed guide recognized by the Puglia Region will meet you in the historic center of Lecce, known as the “Florence of the South.” You will admire the wonders and brilliance of Baroque Lecce, learning about its history and events. You will discover more about Piazza Sant’Oronzo, considered Lecce's living room, with the Roman Amphitheater and the harmonious Palazzetto del Sedile; as well as the many churches, including the Basilica of Santa Croce.

To fully experience local traditions, we have arranged for you to taste the typical Lecce breakfast: at the historic Caffè Alvino, you will enjoy the famous Pasticciotto (a soft pastry filled with custard), accompanied by the typical Salento coffee, blended with almond syrup.

Day 3

DAY 3:

After the usual breakfast, the day's appointment is in Gallipoli, at the San Giorgio pier, for a fantastic guided boat tour. From the exceptional viewpoint in the middle of the Ionian Sea, you’ll admire the rich historic center, the Porto del Canneto with the Greek Fountain (the oldest in Italy, said to have been built in the 3rd century BC), and the Angioinian Castle, almost completely surrounded by the sea for full control of the horizon.

Remember to bring your swimsuit! Don’t miss the opportunity to dive into one of the most beautiful seas of the Italian Peninsula.

Day 4

DAY 4:

Today you will reach Cursi, 20 minutes by car from Masseria La Restuccia (or a similar establishment), for a guided tour of an ancient underground oil mill located within the "Trapetum" estate, which is entirely hand-carved, well-preserved, and a pioneering example of innovative technological restoration.

Immerse yourself in the underground atmosphere, lit by recovered oil lanterns reproduced according to ancient olive oil art traditions. Wearing VR goggles, you will experience an "immersive" journey, finding yourself in a functioning oil mill from the 1600s.

This special cultural moment, where technology reconnects us with the history of our land, restores the taste of sacrifice and hard work that was the basis of the most important Salento economic activity of the past: the production and trade of lamp oil.

At the end of this evocative experience, you will taste our typical products and good local wine.

The day will conclude with a pleasant walk to the Lecce stone quarries, a very versatile limestone, the mother of Baroque Lecce.

In the afternoon, we suggest visiting the magnificent Otranto, whose town has been recognized by UNESCO as a Peace Messenger Site. Wander through the city’s narrow streets, among porcelain and textile artisans’ shops, and breathe in the healthy sea air. You will be captivated by the Aragonese Castle, which inspired one of the first Gothic masterpieces in English literature, The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole.
