Summer in the Salento peninsula is going on!

September is the ideal month to enjoy a relaxing holiday for the “out season” travelers who will visit Salento. After the typical crowd of August, the month of September will give sunny but not so hot days, beaches not so packed and, why not, fun that still reminds the summer is going to end.

Many folk festivals will gladden September nights, from the characteristic and awaited Festa te lu mieru (the festival of wine), the festival of puccia (a typical bread), and many other religious events which are a way to find out the popular culture of Salento, sounds and rhythm of pizzica (the traditional dance), flavours of the traditional cooking.

September is also the ideal period to go for long walks around the old villages, the historical centres of the main towns, such as Lecce, Gallipoli or Otranto, to appreciate colours and fascination of monuments and palaces built with the white typical stone.

Salento and its people will conquer giving you unforgettable and unique moments.
