Wine & Gourmet Tour: Lecce
4 days/3 nights
Geographically, Salento corresponds to the old Terra d’Otranto, a wide plain dotted with the greenery of centuries-old olive trees, typical villages with whitewashed houses and countless floral and wildlife.
A land rich in history and traditions, natural beauties and architectural works, today however it is particularly appreciated for its warm sun and crystalline sea waters, for its wine and for its numerous provinces.
