Adriatic Coast

The Adriatic Coast of Salento is characterized by long sand and cliffs, sometimes high, enclosing large sandy bays.

Starting from the area north of Lecce, with marine Chianca Torre, Frigole and Casalabate, crossing San Cataldo and San Foca, there are wide sandy stretches. Just around San Foca,  Melendugno, the coast began to present with rocky cliffs that rise more and more until Roca and the North of Torre dell’Orso, then give space to the great sandy cove of this’ last resort.

In the country side we find pine forests and Mediterranean plants.

Along the coast road that leads to Otranto, the coast is very indented and presents small coves and large beaches, till Alimini Lakes.

Otranto on the conformation changes abruptly, disappearing beaches and the coast is rocky and rough, with breathtaking views that head to other famous places of Salento such Santa Cesarea Terme, Castro, Tricase and, at the end, Santa Maria di Leuca.
