About this tour
A private seven to eight-hour coastal run from Lecce following the Otranto shoreline to its most striking beaches. Your driver collects you early, steers through scrubland dotted with Mediterranean flora, then parks in Otranto's old quarter for independent wandering. Afterwards, you stop at a respected bakery for regional pastries before hitting the water. Time splits between three distinct beaches—Turks' Bay for raw, untamed swimming and cliff-edge paths; Torre Sant'Andrea for crystalline shallows and hidden inlets. The pace is entirely yours; the vehicle waits.
Highlights
- Wander Otranto's medieval streets without a guide.
- Local bakery run for authentic Puglian pastries.
- Turks' Bay: rugged cliffs, pine-shaded coves.
- Torre Sant'Andrea: transparent Adriatic water.
- Private transport, no group herding.
- Free beach chairs and parasols supplied.
- Flexibility to linger or move on.
What to expect
Your driver picks you up and heads south through low, aromatic bush country toward Otranto. Once there, you're loose to explore the tight lanes and stone facades of the old town—cafés, shops, views back over the harbour—for as long as you like. Next, a quick detour to a well-known bakery where you grab lunch supplies. Then the beaches: Turks' Bay reveals wild cliffs, forest paths threading between turquoise pockets, plenty of room to swim or hike alone. Torre Sant'Andrea comes last—shallower, clearer, more cove-hopping. You set the rhythm; the driver ferries you between spots.
Good to know
Bring water and sun cream; bakery lunch is your responsibility. Beach loungers and umbrellas are included, though access to any private lido costs extra. Most of the seven to eight hours goes to driving; aim for an early start if you want maximum beach time. Public buses run nearby if you prefer independent travel.
