Things To Do
Otranto
We recommend visiting Otranto, the town, sea and the cathedral if you are spending some time in Salento before or after!
Basilica of the Holy Cross
A masterpiece of Baroque architecture, this church dazzles with its intricately carved façade featuring griffins, cherubs, and floral motifs. Inside, the golden Lecce stone glows under soft light, revealing elegant altars and a peaceful ambiance.
Le Stanzie
Slow Food in the Salentina traditional way.
MUST (Museo Storico Città di Lecce)
Housed in a former monastery, MUST traces Lecce’s story from prehistoric times to the present through artifacts, paintings, and multimedia displays. The serene cloister adds a peaceful touch to this cultural dive.
Museo Faggiano
"Faggiano Museum" is a private building open to the public in April 2008. It collects inside historical-archaeological evidences that contain a time span of more than 2000 years,from Messapi (V sec. B.C.) to Romans,from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance,in a tangible,visible and visitable historical route. The discovery of this place is quite incredible. Everything started almost by chance: in 2001 Mr. Luciano Faggiano, the property owner, was forced to break the floor of the house in order to change the sewer pipes that were causing continuous problems of humidity. It was precisely during such work that unexpectedly began to re-emerge the first archaeological evidences.
Santa Maria di Leuca
Santa Maria di Leuca, often spelled simply Leuca is a frazione of the comune of Castrignano del Capo, in the Salento peninsula (Apulia), southern Italy. A part of the town once belonged to the comune of Gagliano del Capo.
Ostuni
Distance from Lecce: 110 km (approx. 1 hour 20 minutes by car via SS16) Perched atop a hill overlooking endless olive groves, Ostuni dazzles as the "White City," its labyrinth of whitewashed houses glowing under the Puglian sun. Wander the narrow, winding streets of the old town, where every corner reveals charming arches, flower-draped balconies, and glimpses of the Adriatic Sea in the distance. The Gothic Ostuni Cathedral, with its rose window and panoramic views, crowns the hill—a perfect spot for photos. Savor a leisurely lunch at Osteria del Tempo Perso, tucked in a cave-like setting, where you can taste regional specialties like burrata and orecchiette. Ostuni’s magical blend of history, scenery, and laid-back vibes makes it an unforgettable day trip—just bring your camera and comfy shoes for the cobblestones!
Alberobello
Distance from Lecce: 140 km (approx. 1 hour 45 minutes by car via SS16) Step into a fairytale in Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its unique trulli—whimsical stone huts with conical roofs that dot the landscape like something from a storybook. The Rione Monti district is the heart of it all, a maze of trulli-turned-shops, cafés, and homes where you can browse local crafts or sip a glass of Primitivo wine. Don’t miss Trullo Sovrano, a rare two-story trullo turned museum, offering a peek into traditional life. Surrounded by Puglia’s rolling hills, Alberobello feels timeless—perfect for a morning of exploration or an afternoon of gelato and photos. It’s a bit farther from Lecce, but the enchanting scenery and one-of-a-kind architecture make it a must-see!
