Salento: Exploring the Hidden Side of Puglia
Salento, the southernmost gem of Puglia, is a land of untouched beauty, where traditions run deep and the sea sparkles in every shade of blue. While many travelers flock to its famous beaches and historic towns, we take you beyond the usual routes, uncovering the lesser-known side of this enchanting region.
Venture into quiet, unspoiled villages where time seems to stand still, explore hidden coastal trails leading to secret coves, and discover centuries-old olive groves that tell the story of Salento’s rural soul. From the remote medieval villages of the Grecìa Salentina, where ancient Greek dialects are still spoken, to the lesser-visited inland towns like Specchia and Presicce—officially among Italy’s most beautiful small towns—we reveal a Salento untouched by mass tourism.
Whether it’s tasting traditional fornello meats in a rustic countryside eatery, uncovering mysterious underground oil mills, or admiring breathtaking sunset views from a quiet seaside watchtower, our journeys into Salento promise an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience. Let us show you the hidden magic of this extraordinary corner of Puglia.
