In recent years, the peninsula of Salento has seen a surge in popularity with tourists and in the vivacity of its artistic and cultural production. The natural landscape can compete with Italy’s most celebrated beauty spots, hot on the tail of Chianti, while the turquoise waters and white sand beaches are idyllic for those wanting sun, sea and sand. But the region’s historic cities must be seen: Lecce is the nearest to Porto Cesareo, which the historian Gregorovius defined as the Florence of the South due to the marvellous historic centre characterised by the Baroque architecture, monuments, churches, and historical buildings. And from the natural capital of Salento, it is easy to reach the small inland towns and villages, and tour the churches, farms, and villas that dot the countryside, where history, art and culture combine with a great tradition of hospitality.
